UP definitely prefers AC powered units to DC powered units, so they have contracted with Wabtec to rebuild a lot of the older DC units into AC units. UP 9823 is a great example! It was originally CNW 8719, delivered in May 1994. It has now been rebuilt into a C44ACM. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The car was originally built in 1950 by Pullman-Standard for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway. The C&O ordered 284 streamlined cars from Pullman-Standard in 1946 (later reduced to 185 cars), and this was part of that order. After the C&O, the car spent time on the rosters of the Seaboard Coast Line, Chicago & North Western, Southern Pacific, and Nacionales de Mexico, before landing on the roster of Mid America Rail Car Leasing. It is rumored that it is now headed for a museum in Illinois. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Later in the day, the sun had moved to the west side, so I decided to go back for some better shots. The car is sitting on Track 22, waiting to be taken to North Platte, NE, and eventually, a railroad museum in Illinois. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It is numbered MRLX 1659, and it supposedly came from Alamosa, CO. It is headed for a railroad museum in Illinois. It will catch a ride on the back of UP's MNYNP (to North Platte), and be forwarded further east from there. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

They are going to replace the ties throughout the 6.2 mile long Moffat Tunnel. The project includes quite a bit of fresh ballast as well. This ballast train is on Track 1 in North Yard. Currently, there is no power...but eventually, the train will be taken west, up to the Moffat. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

At the end of July, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern announced their intention to merge. There are many regulatory hurdles for the railroads to overcome, but if they end up getting approval to merge, this is a scene that will become far more common.
