Built in October 1971, it was delivered as Seaboard Coast Line 2041. Since then, it has been merged or sold to Seaboard System Lines 8941, CSX 8941, VMV 8941, MRL 8941 and IMRL 8941 before finally returning to MRL! At the time of this photos, it was also the highest numbered unit on MRL's roster. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Built over thirty years ago, this former Rock Island boxcar clearly shows its heritage beneath its rusty exterior! The boxcar is now owned by the shortline Kyle Railroad in eastern Colorado / western Kansas. Its original Rock Island number was 300778.

The train is moving at restricted speed as its track warrant is joint with another train. The Roydale Local (LDJ03) is working further east near Havana street and it too is occupying the main track. UP 3932 and crew must be prepared to stop in one-half the distance of vision of the track ahead. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 101081 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 26, 2006 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Roydale Denver, CO 1910 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Limon (UP) Union Pacific One of the Roydale Locals (the LDJ03) had a huge train that it was working on switching near Havana Street on the Limon Sub. Half the local (probably 40 cars) were sitting on the main track blocking through traffic while another 30 or so cars were being switched in industries. The lead unit, UP 1526, was SSW 7291 until August 5, 2005. I found that I actually have a shot of SSW 7291 taken on August 1, 2003 in Delta, CO on the Montrose Local!!

Appeared to be in descent condition, all things considered. Couldn't really tell how recently it was last used. There was also no indicating if UP owned it or if is was privately owned.

I've always been a fan of blue, so I particularly like these units. Twenty years later, their paint is still holding up pretty well for the most part!
