From the fall of 1955 on, the Union Pacific reached Chicago via connections with the Milwaukee Road.

With America's 200th birthday drawing near, in 1974 promoters of the American Freedom Train began meeting and greeting local officials along the proposed route aboard the Preamble Express. When General Motors became a major sponsor that August, power for the four-car consist was supplied by Union Pacific E9 A unit 951, repainted in a handsome red, white and blue scheme. Its duties completed that November, 951 returned to the UP, where it kept its patriotic color scheme through August of 1977. Retired in 1980, the unit would return to service in 1984, this time as part of the Heritage Fleet collection, where it can still be seen handling special trains today.
