Why? Because it is the exact same unit on shot on the Pueblo-Provo the day before Thanksgiving! Looks like it made the round trip back to Denver from Provo.

Not exactly sure where the unit was headed, but it was a nice change of pace. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is an interesting unit in that it appears to be a GP40-2 (three radiator fans, etc), there are two exhaust stacks. This shows the un-turbocharged GP38-2 prime mover.

For those not familiar with this unique paint scheme, it was a test scheme conceived of after the BNSF merger. If a slightly different decision had been made, this could have been the scheme applied to all new units (instead o the Heritage scheme)!

It was great when ATSF (and even BNSF) briefly brought the scheme back in the 1990s. This SD75M was one of the units lucky enough to get the Warbonnet scheme.

UP has a few of them available in storage at Burnham (in Denver). The units tend to be older and most have been sitting in Burnham for at least a year. There are many C40-8Ws here and there is a string of SD90MACs in the distance. There units are the true 6000 HP units developed in the late 1990's. It is unlikely they will ever see service on UP rails again. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
