In 1986, Burlington Northern leased 100 (EMD 9000 to 9099) SD60's from EMD through Oakway Inc. Twenty years later, these units are still in remarkably good shape, considering they are still in their original paint! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

So, I try to get as many shots as I can of these beauties! BNSF 2815 is now designated as a GP39M (ex-GP30) and BNSF 2926 is now designated as a GP39E (ex-GP39-2).

Baby wings throwing you off perhaps? Prior to August of 2001, you definitely would have known the face of DRGW 5410! This former Grande T-2 has received a full repaint, including the previously mentioned baby wings and the "lightning bolt" on the long hood. The unit was idling away in the 36th street yard.

Photo ID: 101164 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, January 20, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Denver, CO 1732 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific, Rio Grande The design of the EMD's spartan cab, first seen on the GP35's, is definitely my favorite of any cab. While there were some minor changes over the years, the spartan cab remained basically the same all the way through the standard cab SD70's, when wide cabs started appearing. Here, UP 8601 (ex-DRGW 5410) sits idling in 36th street. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101165 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, January 20, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Burnham Shops Denver, CO 1840 (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.

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: 101167 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, January 20, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Burnham Shops Denver, CO 1997 (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.

The unit is wearing an Operation Lifesaver scheme. The text on the long hood beneath "Operation Lifesaver" reads "Saving Lives at America's Highway-Rail Crossings." The text in the circle to the right reads "25 Years, Operation Lifesaver". Red text printed on the white circle itself reads "You're Our Living Proof. 1972-1997." Only about ten such units received this special scheme. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
