“I wanted to come out to honor my grandpa’s, great grandpa’s heritage with Union Pacific,” Hair said. “He was a machinist that lived in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I’ve always wondered if he worked on locomotives like this or this specific one, but yeah, so that’s kind of the heart behind that is like, you know, hey, that’s part of my heritage and I’m proud of it.”
