Photo ID: 103846 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, August 20, 2011 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 48 Evans, CO 2116 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific There's no point in denying it...I'm an EMD brat. Always have been, likely always will be. This, I'm sure, is because I was raised on Rio Grande, which never owned a non-EMD unit in my lifetime. So, seeing a quartet of EMDs leading a southbound just south of Greeley (with two SD40-2s to boot), made me a very happy camper.

This is one of only three remaining GP40P-2's! Three of these units were delivered to Southern Pacific for use in the San Francisco area. The extended section at the back contained a steam generator. Of course, that equipment has long since been removed, but the unusual body still exists. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The journey south from Greeley runs slightly upgrade, so the unit will be working for the balance of the trip. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Would have been really cool to see these in mainline freight service! I actually really think the corn fields in the background add something to the shot, don't you!?

The lighting was really good and UP 844 is putting off enough smoke to make it look nice and classy! The train is just south of downtown La Salle.

My dad managed to get roster shots of nearly ever Rio Grande unit back in the late 1970's and early 1980's. He always shot in black and white, so even with the UP patch, this reminds me of those shots. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
