Photo ID: 114123 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, July 26, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Sharon Springs, KS 18 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Sharon Springs (UP) Union Pacific A westbound UP local, led (ironically) by UP 4015. The SD70M (and sister SD70M UP 4255) will be taking a single covered hopper east to Oakley after meeting UP 4014. You might recall that, for a few years, UP 4015 was frequently the SD70M that ran with UP 4014. However, this is not that same unit. UP 4015 was repainted into the Abraham Lincoln unit (UP 1616). UP 4392 was subsequently repainted as UP 4015, seen here. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
