This GP15-1 has definitely seen better days! The unit was delivered to Missouri Pacific in September 1979 and was moved to the UP roster in November 1990. Judging from this shot, this paint scheme is probably the only UP paint that has ever been applied. That's some mighty faded gray paint.

This C44-9W was originally CNW 8716, delivered in May 1994. After being taken over by UP, the unit was repainted on April 30, 2001...the new lightning bolt scheme applied.

One of the first wide cabs that GE ever came out with could be found on the C41-8W. This unit was originally delivered to UP in September 1993 and, based on how its looking, this is probably the original paint job!

Photo ID: 106816 Date Shot Photo By Friday, December 8, 2017 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS016 (East Rocky) Arvada, CO 1017 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific Remember the horsepower race at the end of the 1990s? Railroads wanted more horsepower and EMD produced its SD90MAC and GE produced its AC6000CW, each with 6000 HP. But neither were quite ready for primetime, so EMD made over 300 SD9043MACs and GE made its AC6044CWs. They had 4400 HP, but were designed to have the prime mover swapped out for the 6000 HP counterparts when ready. The only problem was they never really were ready! Here, an AC6044CW heads east at Rocky, clearly defined by its large radiator blister at the back end. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

As class 1's repaint more and more of their "old" personalities, it is only a matter of time before all the Warbonnets are nothing but history.

Photo ID: 106746 Date Shot Photo By Friday, December 1, 2017 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS016 (East Rocky) Arvada, CO 1135 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF It is an absolutely beautiful Colorado morning, particularly considering it is the start of December! With temperatures around 55°F, this Provo-Denver manifest leaves Rocky on a clear signal. C44-9Ws used to rule BNSF manifest on the Moffat. However, they are already starting to become outdated as more and more "Evolution Series" units are showing up! Nice to catch a Dash-9 on the point on this morning.
