Most tracks are not anywhere near full, and several tracks are completely empty. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The units are both remote control enabled. A single crew member can throw switches in the yard and operate the train from a remote control box. A couple of panels are open on the long hood, and you can see a bit of the prime mover. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 111530 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, December 22, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 92 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific When it comes to older power, only about one third of UP's units were originally delivered as Union Pacific. The other two thirds are a mix of Missouri Pacific, MKT, Southern Pacific, and Rio Grande. UP 1482 was SP 7112 when it was absorbed into UP's roster. However, in this case, it was second hand to SP as well. It was delivered in March 1969 as B&O 3721. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 111529 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, December 22, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 63 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific I have seen some tagging done to locomotives before, but this might just be the worse case of graffiti that I've seen on a single unit. The good news is that the unit will likely wind up in North Little Rock in the not-too-distant future for a rebuilt and a repaint.

Most of the Class 1 railroads are creating or expanding rebuild programs to bring new life to older units. This is largely due to the United States EPA Tier 4 emissions standards, which has increased both the up front cost and maintenance cost of brand new units.

It, along with 301 of its CSX siblings, were actually delivered as a 4400 HP ES44DC. Around 2010, CSX actually downgraded the prime movers to 4000 HP and redesignated the units as ES40DCs. UP is currently leasing this one as it sits on the ready track at North Yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
