In fact, UP 1357 started as DRGW 3102 when it was delivered in April 1972. UPY 691 started out in deep blue as MP 1691 in February 1982. UPY 691 has certainly seen better days!

This particular GP40-2 is no stranger to Denver as it started life at DRGW 3102. On June 3, 1997, it absorbed in to UP's roster as UP 5256. About six years later, on September 30, 2003, it found its new home on the roster as UP 1357. Nearly twenty years later, that's the number it still owns.

These units, often known as Gensets, were built by National Railway Equipment. They have three Cummins diesel engines in them and operate with reduced emissions. Due to that, these units are most commonly found (when active) in California. Based on the aftermarket decorations, I would say that's where these units came from as well!

Work to drop I-70 in to a trench is about 50% complete. Cars now in the trench are likely oblivious to the largest steam engine in US history above them!
