Well, aside from the obvious that is! Of course they are all geeps and they are all on the active UP roster. But can you figure out something a little less obvious that they have in common? You can post your guess by clicking here and leaving a comment. I'll post the answer in a few days if nobody gets it correct!

DRGW 3097 - the last Grande geep in the 30xx range - finished its Rio Grande life as the Colorado Springs switcher back in 2005.

Such is the case with UP 1364 (ex-DRGW 3109), sitting near the yard office at UP's 36th Street Yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

While there were some minor changes over the years, the spartan cab remained basically the same all the way through the standard cab SD70's, when wide cabs started appearing. Here, UP 8601 (ex-DRGW 5410) sits idling in 36th street. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Baby wings throwing you off perhaps? Prior to August of 2001, you definitely would have known the face of DRGW 5410! This former Grande T-2 has received a full repaint, including the previously mentioned baby wings and the "lightning bolt" on the long hood. The unit was idling away in the 36th street yard.

Photo ID: 101130 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, December 31, 2006 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Denver, CO 2529 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific UP 900082, the rotary plow that UP keeps and maintains in Cheyenne, departs 36th Street on the point of the WDEDEF-31. The plow will help dig through some snow drifts on the plains to help rescue some crews that are actually trapped on their trains, stuck in the snow. Although the plow itself is powered by diesel-electric, there is still a steam-powered heat system to make sure all the equipment remains defrosted!

I was very happy to find UP 2935 (ex-UP 4522, nee-SP 8243) sitting near the yard office at 36th Street. This particular tunnel motor has worn yellow paint since it received a full repaint almost nine years ago in March 1998! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I like that the two units that are the focus of this shot are both owned by UP, but neither has much yellow on them. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

While it is unfortunately that it now wears a large yellow patch, at least it still has a complete light package! Here, the unit is idling quietly in UP's 36th Street Yard.
