UP 9795 was actually originally delivered to Chicago North Western in April 1994. Within the past few years, UP has started a rebuild program, taking some old DC traction motor units, and rebuilding them as AC traction motor units. This is a perfect example!

This is at Utah Junction at the north end of North Yard. The Zephyr is on the main track, the North Yard siding the next track to the right. The next track to the right is actually the North Yard lead, and it is not in CTC limits. This is why there are only two sets of signals on the bridge.

Photo ID: 111900 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, March 9, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 109 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific This GP40N has a fairly interesting history. It was delivered as a GP40 (not a GP40-2) to Baltimore and Ohio in November 1966 as B&O 3692. It was briefly on the Chessie roster after the B&O and C&O merger, and then wound up on the CSX roster as CSX 6508. CSX then sold the unit to Espee and it changed colors and roster number, becoming SP 7114. Now, it has found new life as it has been rebuilt to GP40-2 specifications, designated as a GP40N.
