Living Legacy: Historical Equipment Still Riding Today's Rails

The railroad’s fleet itself dates back to 1912, but most of the passenger cars are closer to a half-century old – built during the height of passenger train travel. Each car is unique and chronicles a different chapter of Union Pacific's past. For more than a century, these cars transported iconic individuals (presidents and senators, generals and soldiers, artists and architects, singers and actors) who influenced and transformed America.

While some of these historical passenger cars are no longer active, they remain a proud part of Union Pacific's heritage.
