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.

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.

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.

However, underneath all that yellow paint - if it hasn't been blasted off - you'll find nothing but black and orange! This SD50 was once DRGW 5511… Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
