PREAMBLE EXPRESS PASSENGER SET BTO

 

Touring all 48 contiguous states in 1974, the Preamble Express scouted locations for the coming American Freedom Train. It gave railroads, promotors, local officials and first responders and the media an opportunity to prepare for the logistics involved in handling what would be one of the largest Bicentennial celebrations in the country. At the end of the trip, President Ford inaugurated the new Freedom Train from the back of observation car #4 before the cars were repainted and added to the consist of the larger exhibit train. E8 951 went back in service on the Union Pacific and retained its patriotic paint for some time in regular service before being repainted.
