Imagine a time when a scene like this at North Yard was a daily occurrence! Granted, Rio Grande never had any Big Boys, but the idea of steam moving around North Yard is a fun one.

After dropping off some cars in Track 5, the remainder of the train is being backed into Track 4. After clearing in Track 4, the power will wait for UP 4014, sitting back near the yard office, to back in to Track 9. Then, the power here will go to the fuel tracks.

Photo ID: 110872 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, August 7, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 175 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific In the late 90s, Union Pacific really wanted units with more horsepower. EMD and GE both obliged with their own attempts at a 6000 HP unit. GEs was designed an AC6000CW. UP 6894 was delivered to UP as UP 7006, one of the original GE AC6000CW. The 6000 HP units were plagued with issues, and the attempts were eventually ditched. Today, UP 6894 has been rebuilt (internally) with a 4400 HP prime mover and is designated as a C44ACM.

The unit has spent a lot of time leading oil trains between Wash, UT and destination to the east. However, rumor has it that its 92-day inspection is due. Since that can no longer be conducted in Denver, the unit will likely go to North Platte, NE on the MNYNP. From there? Who can say...

UP is no exception, as they have been rebuilding C44-9Ws, C44AC-CTEs, and others into C44ACMs. UP 5830 is a good example, as it sports UP's newest official scheme on the ready tracks in North Yard.

UP 2465 was delivered to UP in March 1992 and UP 2498 was delivered to UP in October 1992. 32 years later and both units are still on the roster. I don't recall the last time I saw an SD60M on the main, so not entirely sure where these two units came from or where they are headed.

The angle and clutter in the shot isn't great, but I still wanted to get a shot while it was in Denver. It is currently sitting on the ready track in Denver, awaiting its next assignment.

It was originally delivered as UP 6337 in September 1992. What is the fate of the unit? My guess would be that it is on its way to storage, but I do not know.

UP 6236 is one such example, still in its original scarlet and gray, with yellow UP patches applied. Here, it sits in North Yard awaiting assignment after arriving on the MGJNY. The unit actually served on the Minturn Local (which hasn't gone as far as Minturn in decades) just a few days ago in the Colorado high country. This was originally SP 257.

Those locations tend to attract a lot "taggers"; people that apply graffiti to things. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

When needed, they will be used to switch cars in the yard. UP 1357 started life as DRGW 3102.
