See it? Unfortunately, for the passengers on the train, there is no Sightseer Lounge car on the train. Instead, the train departed with two dining cars, the second acting as the lounge car for the trip. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The longer "snoot-nose" once held extra radio equipment. I don't think it is actually used for anything like that today. Still, looks a little different from most of the other SD40-2s built!

They have a track warrant out to near Deer Trail, CO. That warrant will not get them all the way to Limon. The reason for the warrant only going that far is due to the fact they are following an eastbound coal load which has only made it as far east as Deer Trail.

UP 1837, a snoot-nose SD40-2, puts on a bit of an exhaust show as the engineer throttle up to start pulling the (roughly) 40 car Limon Local eastbound on Main 1 toward a green signal. UP 6168 was delivered as SP 139 in April 1995. I was a sophomore in high school at the time, and remember seeing those new scarlet and gray units sometimes when I was getting lunch.

Photo ID: 113081 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, September 14, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Stapleton Denver, CO 258 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Limon (UP) Union Pacific This is an interesting trio of power for the Limon Local. The snoot-nose SD40-2, delivered to Union Pacific March 1978, has had a bit of tagging on it. That stands in sharp contrast to UP 1484, whose paint looks pristine. The paint on UP 6168 doesn't look bad...just a bit dirty. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
