Got Power? When the power pool in Grand Junction is running a little low, UP will sometimes send "light" power west out of Denver. Here, eleven units (each no less than 4390 HP) head west out of Leyden.

A single SD45T-2R (although UP considers it an SD40-2T) leads up a work train on the siding at Leyden. This particular unit was originally an SD40T-2 that was rebuilt by SP into an SD45T-2R. It was then rebuilt yet again to SD40-2 specifications. In its history, this unit was originally SP 9209, then turned to SP 6832 when it was rebuilt. After the merger, it was changed to UP 4815, and finally turned to UP 2847 on September 28, 2001, to make room for the SD70Ms.
