SD75s (both SD75Ms and SD75Is) have become exceedingly rare in recent years. BNSF has been keeping most of them in long term storage. Loved catching this one on this Friday morning.

I am not sure what inspired UP to create this unit, honoring the 16th President. Nor am I complaining. It looks great. Just not sure what the motivation was for creating it.

It is leading a passenger train that is supposedly going to sit here in the North Yard storage yard for a few days before departing. Departing where...unknown at the time of this picture!

The exact purpose for the trip is not known, but the train is once again being kept in the storage yard. Note the "rent-a-cop" car from a company UP has hired to ensure nothing happens to the train (graffiti, etc). Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The Big Boy was steaming really well here, and a bit of smoke was coming up, blocking out a bit of the sun, which in turn highlight the red in the exhaust.

UP 4014 is putting on a fantastic show in the early morning as it heads west on the Moffat on the North Yard Siding. So yes...Big Boy has officially run on the Moffat Tunnel Sub! But it will only get as far as just west of C&S Junction so it can back down Bypass 2, across the Belt Line, to the Greeley Sub.

Back when intermodal ran over the Moffat, in the Rio Grande and Southern Pacific days, the track the passenger train is on here was used as an intermodal ramp. Intermodal loaders/unloaders were in the open dirt area, and truck came in to pickup or drop off trailers here. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
