Union Pacific DC7 Dapco Hi-Railer. With that picture it was time to board the museum's train. I got in line but when they went to punch my ticket, he told me to ride in the Maine Central Caboose. I climbed up into the cupola and met a father and his two daughters who were already there. Once everyone had boarded the train, we took off for the turntable.
