UP has a few of them available in storage at Burnham (in Denver). The units tend to be older and most have been sitting in Burnham for at least a year. There are many C40-8Ws here and there is a string of SD90MACs in the distance. There units are the true 6000 HP units developed in the late 1990's. It is unlikely they will ever see service on UP rails again. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101681 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, November 10, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Burnham Denver, CO 1636 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific All twenty of the SD90MACs (with a true 6000 HP prime mover) that UP still has on its roster were in storage at Burnham - in one long line - at the end of 2007. Who knows if these units will ever be reactivated, or if they perished soon after the inception, similar to the U50 about thirty years ago.

Photo ID: 101680 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, November 10, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Burnham Denver, CO 1529 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific Starting in 1997, Union Pacific took delivery of 21 SD90MACs with 4-cylinder, 6000 HP prime movers. Roughly a decade later finds 20 of these 21 units in storage, not being used. The 21st unit has been returned to EMD for testing purposes. One of the 20 units in storage, UP 8923 (ex-UP 8513) is seen at Burnham in Denver. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

With so many new units showing up on the property, UP has stored several units indefinitely. UP 9858 (ex-SP 5514, nee-DRGW 5514) is one such example. It is being stored in Burnham near downtown Denver. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The Ski Train has a couple of tracks reserved at Burnham just for them. The train is broken up over two or three tracks and the power is kept on yet another track. Here, the train will sit (and be worked on) until the summer runs start at the end of June. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101167 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, January 20, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Burnham Shops Denver, CO 1997 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific, Southern Pacific A string of about two dozen units sits at UP's Burnham Shops in storage. Whether or not this is temporary storage or not remains to be seen. Most of these units have been here since early December 2006. The line consists of SD40-2s, SD50s, SD60s, C40-8s and some switchers. UP 9858 (ex-SP 5514, nee-DRGW 5514) is on the south end of the string of units. The tracks in the foreground are a part of RTD's Light Rail system in Denver. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101166 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, January 20, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Burnham Shops Denver, CO 2082 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific, Southern Pacific Every since the start of December 2006, a few of the older units on UP's system have been placed in storage. Such is the case with UP 9858, sitting on a yard track in the Burnham Shops in Denver. Up until August 2001, this unit was SP 5514 (ex-DRGW 5514). It was patched after the UP merger and renumbered UP 5108. It kept that number for a mere 13 months, when it was renumbered to UP 9858 in September 2002 to make room for the SD70M's.

Photo ID: 101165 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, January 20, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Burnham Shops Denver, CO 1840 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific, Rio Grande This is, unfortunately, the best shot that I could get of UP 9860, formerly DRGW 5516. This unit has seen several paint scheme and several numbers since being delivered to the Grande in 1984. It started, of course, as DRGW 5516. It was later painted in the Espee fly letter scheme and numbered SP 5516. After the UP merger, it was the first former Grande SD50 to be repainted (November 14, 1997) and received the number UP 5110. That latest until August 8, 2002 when its number was changed to UP 9860. Here it sits in temporary storage at the Burnham shops.
