Union Pacific is in the process of converting the AC6000CW fleet back to standard 4400HP AC4400CW (officially C44/60AC on UP's roster). The 6000HP experiment just didn't work out for UP. All of EMD's SD90MACs (with 6000HP) are off the roster and most of the AC6000CWs have been converted back. This unit, previous UP 7569, is waiting for is 4400 HP engine to be plopped in.

It was a very cool experience. Even cooler to consider the Rio Grande history as these were the main shops for Rio Grande. Here, we see engines waiting for some traction motor replacement.

These are the tracks at Burnham at which the Ski Train was stored during the off season. Instead, the tracks are now filled with former Grande Luxe Express cars. The cars were purchased by Phil Anschutz and are currently being repaired and upgraded. 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 2068 (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.

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 1908 (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.
