Dillon residents near the Union Pacific station witnessed two locomotives and a passenger car interspersed with freight cars in a UP freight train. The three units once ran on the Gilmore and Pittsburg line from 1910 to about two years ago between Armstead Salmon and Gilmore Idaho. The travel-worn passenger car drew attention as the engines, recently painted, showed few signs of their long service. The equipment was being hauled to a northern point.
