Here, an SD70MAC and a CEFX AC4400CW leaser unit bring up the rear of a south bound coal load just starting the journey down the Joint Line.

Case-in-point is this southbound coal load just getting ready to leave the yard in Denver and head for the Joint Line. They only have 111 such units on the roster, but they have spending a lot of time on PRB coal trains! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is about to pass underneath the relative new Belt-Bypass, built by UP a few years earlier. The two Alaska Railroad GP49's on the train are running dead, headed for their new home in Houston, TX working for Specialized Rail Transport.

Photo ID: 101933 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, March 15, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 4 Denver, CO 2773 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) Alaska Railroad When EMD was working on their 50-series locomotives in the late 1970's and early 1980's, they had four models they offered. The GP49, the SD49, the GP50 and the SD50. The 49's were only 12-cylinder models and were rated at 2,800 HP. Alaska Railroad purchased nine GP49's (the only nine units to ever be produced), and EMD never did end up producing any SD49's. Here is one of the nine GP49's running DIC (Dead-In-Consist) on BNSF's HPASSAG. The unit was retired in 2006 and is now headed for Houston, TX.

Interesting that 5371 would be the final Rio Grande unit left in the world, after 5771 (a single-digit difference!) was the final F9A to be retired off the roster 24 years prior in 1984.

The last-remaining (unpatched) Rio Grande unit on UP's roster crosses over the bridge (still lettered for Rio Grande) at York Street on the Belt Industrial Lead. 5371 is headed toward Cheyenne, more than likely to be retired.
