Photo ID: 101787 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, December 9, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Yard Denver, CO 1633 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific With its train built and ready to roll, the MDVSI-09 starts pulling toward the Limon Subdivision. An SD70M leads up a C40-9 (standard cab!) and a former Espee SD40T-2. This is the only (regular) daily manifest that runs on the Limon Subdivision.

It reminds me of a mama duck moving along with its ducklings following. This SD40T-2 leads up three "baby tunnel motors"; GP15-1s.

Photo ID: 101776 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, December 8, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Yard Denver, CO 2216 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific There is something about black and white on a cold, snowy day that just seems appropriate! Large snow flakes fall in front of the camera while this former Espee Tunnel Motor poses for a shot. You can clearly see that UP 2937 started life (on UP's roster) as UP 4589. The GP40-2 to the right - UP 1364 - started life as a Rio Grande unit! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101775 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, December 8, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Yard Denver, CO 1797 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific It is always worth taking a picture of a Tunnel Motor. Doesn't matter what the conditions of the weather are or even if there are things in the way of the shot! This particular T-2 comes to UP from Espee. UP 2937 started life as SP 8264. It briefly held the number UP 4589 before making room for the SD70Ms. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101774 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, December 8, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Yard Denver, CO 1612 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific I'll wager that this unit (and others like it) won't be around on UP's roster long after this shot. This B40-8 (yep, a 4-axle unit) is actually of Espee heritage, delivered in 1987 as SP 8022. It was also delivered as a B39-8, but UP changed the designation in 1999. I suspect these units will follow the path of their "U-Boat" ancestors before long. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

After completing the move, this power is headed back toward the yard office at 36th Street. Coors Field is in the background to the left.

It was nearly two years ago (Dec 17, 2005) that DRGW 3121 was patched and changed to UP 1344. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A former Missouri Pacific GP38-2 sits idling away as the intermodal train moves past it. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101724 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 25, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Yard Denver, CO 1730 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific With a nose only a mother could love, this SD70ACe is moving backward, pushing the ZLADV back into the intermodal facility at 36th Street. Since the SD70ACe is more like its sibling the SD70MAC inside (even though it looks more like is cousing, the SD90MAC on the outside), hopefully this unit will be around for many years to come.

Photo ID: 101331 Date Shot Photo By Monday, May 28, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Denver, CO 2151 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots GE Leasing Apologies for the obstructions in the way of this shot, but I thought it was worth adding anyway. You may not know it at first glance, but this SD40T-2 was in fact DRGW 5374 once upon a time! It might just be the most renumber ex-Grande unit out there. It was DRGW 5374 until August 18, 1999 when it was repainted and renumber UP 4059. Eight months later, it was renumbered UP 8629 to make room for the SD70M's. Two years after that, it was again renumbered to UP 2897. It stayed that way for 18 months until it was retired on October 13, 2003. Then, finally, it was reactivated (as a leaser under GE Capital) as GECX 2897 on April 29, 2004! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

So does this freshly refurbished GATX Rail Group GP38-2! GMTX 2678 is one of two leased GP38-2's roaming around in the Denver area on UP right now. The other is sister unit GMTX 2679, looking just as sharp! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

While UP's Armour Yellow scheme is not my favorite, I must admit that a freshly painted (or even freshly washed) unit can look outstanding! This ES44AC has all the latest bells and whistles (pardon the pun) when it comes to fuel efficiency and electronics. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

While DRGW 5371 is the only remaining Rio Grande unit left, there are many units that have only been patched that still roam the rails. Here, UP 1344 is on a transfer train headed to BNSF's 31st Street Yard from UP's 36th Street Yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This particular GP38-3 is a rebuild of a GP38-2. Until recently, it wore a similar blue paint scheme, but was owned by EMD Leasing (EMDX). The unit was delivered to Missouri-Kansas-Texas as MKT 185.
