Indeed, the AC4400CW started life as SP 241. This summer, the unit celebrates its 29th birthday, as it was originally delivered in June of 1995.

They do not have a route in to the yard yet, so the engineer will bring the train to a stop just east of Washington Street so as not to block any grade crossing while waiting to get in to North Yard.

The train has been put together (after doubling over between two tracks) and the North Yard Utility personnel have just detached from the train. Time to head north! Any cars destined for Salt Lake City that once would have run on the (now defunct) MNYRO are on this train instead. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

About a half mile east from the yard, this manifest is approaching the control point at Broadway. It is here that the Bypass tracks (visible to the right) converge with the Belt Lead. The Bypass tracks were built around 2004 as a shortcut for coal trains that did not need to enter North Yard. Note the old water tank at Utah Junction visible in the distance to the right.

Bypass 1 and 2 both have trains on them, so the Mountaineer has to back in to North Yard and then depart westbound on Main 3.

Both were intended to be high horsepower units and neither was successful over the long term. UP had shed its roster of SD9043MACs. With the lease from CIT Leasing up, the San Luis and Rio Grande is also doing the same. Three SD9043MACs are on UP's MNYNP, headed for North Platte, NE.
