The brakes are being released and the engineer has notched the unit into Run 1 to start creeping west. The unit is on the point of an empty oil train, ready to head west and tackle the Moffat.

Photo ID: 111398 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, December 4, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 129 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific This GP38-2 was originally delivered to Missouri Pacific in February 1980 (as MP 2195). One pretty reliable tip that this unit was originally Missouri Pacific is the lack of dynamic brakes. Missouri Pacific and Katy (MKT), both plains railroads, had quite a few units without dynamic brakes. This saved money in the initial purchase and in maintenance costs.
