The scarlet and gray is fading and not looking too well. Unfortunately, Espee is getting very close to being nothing more than a museum railroad.

This particular units joined UP's roster in 2008 as part of an order of 50 such units. They are not super common in Denver as there is such a focus on coal in Denver and SD70ACes, at this point, are seldom - if ever - used as coal power.

Photo ID: 104350 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, February 23, 2013 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 1895 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific UP is in the process of renumbering their 309 SD9043MACs. The units have spent their entire lives in the 8000-8308 number range. Now, in order to make room for new power, the units are being moved to a number range that, for several decades, was held by UP's SD40-2 force. It looks quite odd to see this unit with such a lower number after 17 years. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, it is a testament to the quality of EMD power that this nearly 35-year-old unit is still on the rails. Sure hope EMD can find some new life under Caterpillar.

Just a group of units hanging out at the ready tracks in North Yard. However, upon closer inspection, note the unit on the left side of the shot. That is a former Espee GP40P-2. The steam generator has of course long since been removed, but the extended long hood and the angled radiators remain. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

So it was really great seeing a matched pair of Belle's on a military special in Denver. As it turns out, this is the first ES44 Retro-Belle that I've seen!

Photo ID: 104036 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, November 29, 2011 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 2529 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific, Kansas City Southern A Military Special came into Denver off the Limon Sub overnight. It crossed the Belt Main and entered the Main Track at CP DS002. After pulling down to Fox Junction, the crew on the train was ready to depart south on the Joint Line for Fort Carson. But BNSF wasn't ready for the train! With Amtrak coming, the train had to make a reverse move to get in the clear in the North Yard Siding. That worked out well for me as I got a shot of it backing down the main. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Okay, so it may not be obvious at first glance that this is a familiar face. Until September 1, 2005, this was DRGW 3105. It spent nearly five years running as a patched until. However, it recently made a visit to North Little Rock and got truly assimilated by UP! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
