I am not sure what inspired UP to create this unit, honoring the 16th President. Nor am I complaining. It looks great. Just not sure what the motivation was for creating it.

It is leading a passenger train that is supposedly going to sit here in the North Yard storage yard for a few days before departing. Departing where...unknown at the time of this picture!

Photo ID: 112839 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, July 20, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 50 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific After running from Denver to Cheyenne with UP 4014 on the point, completing the 2025 steam excursion, the passenger equipment and UP 1616 (plus UP 4404 added) returned south down the Greeley Sub to Denver with UP 1616 leading! The exact purpose for the trip is not known, but the train is once again being kept in the storage yard. Note the "rent-a-cop" car from a company UP has hired to ensure nothing happens to the train (graffiti, etc). Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Back when intermodal ran over the Moffat, in the Rio Grande and Southern Pacific days, the track the passenger train is on here was used as an intermodal ramp. Intermodal loaders/unloaders were in the open dirt area, and truck came in to pickup or drop off trailers here. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Most of these cars have come from one of four trains: the MGJNY (from Grand Junction), the MGRNY (from Green River, WY), the MNNPNY (from North Platte), or the MPUNY (from Pueblo). There are some other manifest trains that run into North Yard, but these four are the most common ones. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Here's another UP unit that looks like it has probably spent some time in some place like Southern California. Sadly, the unit has been tagged with graffiti all over. Missouri Pacific fans might also be sad to learn this GP38-2 was originally MP 2163, delivered in January 1980. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
