Television production crews have constructed a Chapman 50 foot camera boom arm at Andesite, California for the filming of a Union Pacific TV commercial that will commence the following morning at dawn. UP 4582 (SD 70M) is seen here acting as a stand in, while UP SD70M's 4736, 4780 and 4924 were the stars of the production. Mt. Shasta provided the backdrop for this TV spot that was part of the "Building America" ad campaign that ran for a few years back in 2002. I was fortunate enough to have work as a photographer on this production back on July 17th 2002. This image originally ran in the October 2002 issue of CTC Board / Railroads Illustrated, page 17. ?
