A Contest: Union Pacific 150 years timeline but wait . . .

Union Pacific, as you may know, is celebrating their 150 years.  We applaud their milestone.  

However, there is a mistake on their history timeline.  The first person who correctly states what the specific mistake is that we are referring to will get 25% on their next net order from Wheels of Time with one exception, "Wheels of Time Limited" are excluded from this offer.  (Sorry Sea-Land fans.)Union Pacific 150 Years timeline

Amtrak U.S. Mail?

Amtrak still carries United States Mail?  Amtrak #1720 baggage car on the westbound Calif. Zephyr #5. Noticed the lettering on the letterboard of this converted Budd car.

Amtrak P42 #156 Red Bird at hand

I got lucky and caught Amtrak Train No. 713 "The San Joaquin" being headed up by P42 #156 in the "Special Anniversary Phase 1 livery" near Martinez, CA on June 9th.  I like that classic "pointless arrow" on the flank.  Enjoy.
