I thought the power choice was particularly interesting...a year-old SD70ACe and a twenty-five year old SD40-2! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Except for the large yellow patches and incorrect numbers on all three of these GP40-2s, this images could almost pass as one right out of the past!

The Ski Train will soon be running for its weekly Saturday trips over the summer. Why is it only nearly that time when looking at a shot of the Ski Train heading west? On this day, the Ski Train had been privately chartered for a trip to Winter Park and back, so the public won't be starting for another week. Here, the train runs along the west side of Rennicks where a few container frames await an assignment. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

You may not know it at first glance, but this SD40T-2 was in fact DRGW 5374 once upon a time! It might just be the most renumber ex-Grande unit out there. It was DRGW 5374 until August 18, 1999 when it was repainted and renumber UP 4059. Eight months later, it was renumbered UP 8629 to make room for the SD70M's. Two years after that, it was again renumbered to UP 2897. It stayed that way for 18 months until it was retired on October 13, 2003. Then, finally, it was reactivated (as a leaser under GE Capital) as GECX 2897 on April 29, 2004! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

While UP's Armour Yellow scheme is not my favorite, I must admit that a freshly painted (or even freshly washed) unit can look outstanding!

No, not a new style of convertible engine...about a week before this picture was taken, several tank cars got away from a switch job in Rennicks yard and rolled back to the 38th street yard. The Salt Mine (switch job) was working the yard track that the tanks went down. BNSF 1532 here was one of the two units used for power. Fortunately, all crew members were notified in advance and nobody was injured. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
