UPHS members, it’s time for the next issue of The Streamliner. This is an excellent edition, and I believe you will truly enjoy it. We are pleased to have Dale Sanders as our editor. Under his leadership, the magazine has become more structured and has continued to grow in both quality and consistency. As you read this issue, I encourage you to think about where the content for The Streamliner comes from. Dale carefully selects each article—nothing is fabricated. The material comes from members like you and me. When articles are submitted without accompanying images, Dale works to find appropriate photos to enhance the piece. He also ensures that each article has enough visual content to make it engaging. If sufficient images are not provided, he takes the initiative to locate them himself. I hope you enjoy the Streamliner as much as I do. However, unlike many other historical societies, UPHS does not have a backlog of articles waiting to be published.
If you have an engaging story or photographs that could support an article, please reach out to the editor to see if there is enough material for publication. If you have a topic, you are passionate about related to Union Pacific, write it up. Even if you have few or no photos, contact the editor—he may be able to help you bring that dream article to life. Articles may cover locomotives, freight cars, cabooses, passenger cars, or locations along the UP system. We also welcome modeling articles featuring UP prototype locomotives, freight cars, cabooses, and more. If you have created a UP model, document it and submit it to Dale for possible publication. UPHS is owned by its members, and member contributions are essential. Articles submitted to the editor are considered for publication, and we would much rather hear Dale say he has too many articles to choose from than that. he has only one left . With your support, we can continue to publish a high-quality magazine with a wide range of engaging content and ensure that The Streamliner remains active, relevant, and visible.
As president, I ask your patience, your comments and suggestions and work with the board to make the UPHS be all it can be.
Sincerely,
Larry Tiffany
President UPHS
