The Union Pacific Railroad celebrated its 150th year with a stop at the Boise Depot and declaration marking Boise one of its "train towns." Hundreds of railroad enthusiasts and history buffs gathered at the depot to see a sleek Union Pacific passenger train carrying the Promontory museum car. A scale version of the train gave rides to families nearby and model train displays and other curiosities filled the historic Boise Depot. (AP/Idaho Statesman, Darin Oswald)
