    This is a recently uncovered box of photos from the archives. It is labeled UP & MP execs at meeting on yellow train in Mexico. It appears to be UP business cars pulled by N de M locomotive. This is a sampling of some of the photos.

    Can anyone help ID any of the people in the photos or help identify a date of this meeting?

    looking at these photos there is one person I recognize. It’s Mike Flannery. He was President of WP when the UP, MP, AND WP merged. I believe he was named President of UP after the merger. In some of the pictures where they are sitting around a conference table they are smoking. Also on one of the business cars it has Missouri Pacific instead of UnioN Pacific. Based on these photos I would say the year would be mid 80’s

    The second b&w picture from the bottom is Bill Farrell, VP Traffic for the MP.
    He appears in a number of the photos.
    Ken Morrow is actually Ken Morril, not sure if one or two L’s. He is from UP so probably post merger.

    The gentleman in the single picture with aviator style glasses is that Roger Craig?

    George Craig. Probably VP Houston at the time. He and Farrell traded places post merger.
