This oddly rebuilt GP10 has a smushed face, like one you might find on a pug! 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.

This interesting looking unit is a Peoria Locomotive Works unit, originally built as a GP10 for New York Central in April 1953. 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 1820 is a snoot nosed SD40-2. Or rather, it was originally. UP has rebuilt it and it is now designated as an SD40N. This month, June 2025, the unit will celebrate its 51st birthday, with its entire life spent on Union Pacific's roster.

UP 1212 is 41 years old, having been delivered to MKT in April 1984 as a GP39-2. 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.

Since the start of PSR (Precision Scheduled Railroading) on UP, it is not uncommon for North Yard to be relatively devoid of power. However, on this particular June 1st, there is actually quite a bit of power waiting to be serviced.

During a substantial snow storm, we get a look at UP's North Yard. The cars on the far right are on Track 1. The string of cars, largely consisting of tank cars, are sitting on Track 4.

EMDX 1609, still largely sporting Union Pacific colors, sits in North Yard, waiting to head west. Note the primer color around the radiator housing and part of the long hood. No doubt EMD has been conducting testing and upgrades on the unit.

Two of several SD70ACe-T4 demonstrators, painted in UP paint, have been returned to EMD. Electro-Motive Diesel tests the units and looks for means of improving the model. The units are headed west, currently waiting for a train assignment that will take them that direction.

EMD originally built a couple dozen SD70ACe-T4 demonstrator units. some were painted for and delivered to Union Pacific, BNSF, and Norfolk Southern. Two of these units, EMDX 1608 and EMDX 1609, have been at the Transportation Technology Center near Pueblo, but are now making their way west. The units were sitting near the North Yard tower on this afternoon, waiting to be added to UP's MNYGR to head west.

A pair of geeps sit near the yard office in North Yard. Both of these particular geeps are right at home, as both started as Rio Grande GP40-2s. UP 1357 was originally DRGW 3102, and UP 1358 was originally DRGW 3105.

A GP40N and an SD40N, both rebuilt from their previous Dash-2 models, sit in the foreground. There is a smattering of classic EMD power sitting around, as the power on UP's MGRNY gets ready to pull away from the train it just brought into the yard.

Just a nice, afternoon overview of North Yard! There isn't much power to spare in the yard this afternoon, with most of the power visible used either in local work or yard job.

Another completed trip from Green River, WY to North Yard here in Denver. UP's MGRNY has arrived and is working on breaking the train up between Track 3 and Track 4 in the yard. At 5500 feet, the train was too long to fit on a single yard track, as Track 3 is only around 3500 feet long.

This GP40N has a fairly interesting history. It was delivered as a GP40 (not a GP40-2) to Baltimore and Ohio in November 1966 as B&O 3692. It was briefly on the Chessie roster after the B&O and C&O merger, and then wound up on the CSX roster as CSX 6508. CSX then sold the unit to Espee and it changed colors and roster number, becoming SP 7114. Now, it has found new life as it has been rebuilt to GP40-2 specifications, designated as a GP40N.

A pair of GEs and a GP40N (formerly a GP40-2) sit on the ready track at North Yard. The power is awaiting its next assignment.
