Now here is a unit that you definitely do not see every day. 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.

This is definitely the kind of shot that needs to be in black and white. 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.

Kind of looks like some futuristic science fiction train, doesn't it? It reality, these are simply wind turbine blades being transported to northern Colorado for a wind farm.
