Due to a computer programing malfunction of our new and improved membership renewal program, many people who renewed their subscription between Sept. 1 and Sept 15 may not have been sent their copies of the 22:4 Streamliner or their UPHS calendar if they are a Sustaining member. This error came to light about December 1. Bob Krieger in our Cheyenne office is working through the renewals and is mailing out the missing items as fast as he can. Now he knows why he has so many extra copies of the Streamliner stacked in the office. |
|||
The Streamliner issue 22:4 is now shipping. The Fall Second Section is mailed in a separate mailing. For our Sustaining members the 2009 Special Edition Richard Kindig Calendar will arrive with the Second Section mailing. Next year is the 25th anniversary of the UPHS. The annual Convention will be held at the Little America Hotel and Convention Center July 8-11th in Cheyenne. Check the convention section of the website for updated information and the phone number to reserve your rooms. We recommend the rooms be reserved as early as possible as we are meeting the week before Frontier Days. Make your reservations now, you can always cancel later. The rooms will disappear fast once the reservation deadline passes. |

| UPRR Museum in Council Bluffs A railroad legacy spanning
more than 140 years is celebrated at the new Union Pacific Railroad
Museum, located in Council Bluffs. The Carnegie Museum in Council
Bluffs is the new location of the Union Pacific Railroad Museum
Collection that was last housed in the Western Heritage Museum (The
original Union Station) in Omaha. Volunteers Needed The museum needs volunteers to help out with reception, floor host duties, at the Gift Shop, research support and photo support. Those who participate are promised an equal amount of time accessing the collection on their own in exchange for the time volunteered. Since the inception of the UPHS, the Museum has supported us in so many ways and now is our chance to return the favor. Remember much of the material that is utilized in the Streamliner is obtained from this collection. Please try to help in this rewarding opportunity to not only help our UPHS endeavors but also that of the Carnegie Museum’s efforts. If you live in the Omaha area please contact Andi Hodge, Volunteer Coordinator, Carnegie Museum at 712-329-8307. |
