Looks like some reinforcement of the ground is happening, too, as dirt is being excavated out and placed in the gondolas. 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.

As such, it has been taken from 36th Street over to North Yard, currently sitting between the yard tower and fuel tracks. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The unit was originally a GP10, but was rebuilt by Peoria Locomotive Works. The unit is owned by Chattahoochee Locomotive. I find it interesting the unit has five digits, something that is not particularly common in the United States. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The unit is apparently owned by Chattahoochee Locomotive. I have no idea why it is in Denver, when it arrived, when it is leaving, or where it is heading.

UP rebuilt the unit and it is now designated as a GP39N. The two radiator fans are spaced a bit further apart that most GP39-2s. Probably an artifact of the rebuild.
