Amtrak received several of these units for use (as the name implies) in California. It is a rare find to find one of these outside that west coast state.

A C44-9W wears the original Heritage scheme while a second C44-9W sports the Heritage II scheme. Then, on the tail end, an ES44DC has the New Image scheme.

A GP15-1 and a GP38-2 work to switch cars for the MDVGR (Denver, CO to Green River, WY) which would depart later in the day. These units are particularly good in yard service as they are not equipped with dynamic brakes. This makes them less useful as road power over much of UP's system.

This power was brand new in the 1980's ... these days, you can still find this power on the mainline. In fact, this particular unit went east of the Limon Sub to Salina, KS later in the day.

And in all that time, it has probably spent more than 90% of its time running between Denver and Pueblo overnight on the Joint Line.

The stored power tends to be older power (SD40-2s, for example). As a result, newer power is showing up on jobs that would have operated under older power not long ago. Here is a perfect example. The "Beer Run" sits on the Golden Sub at Tennyson Street with a pair of C44-9Ws for power. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
