Here, an SD70MAC and a CEFX AC4400CW leaser unit bring up the rear of a south bound coal load just starting the journey down the Joint Line.

UP 9872 started life as DRGW 5407 many years ago. Now, the "Rio Grande" on the conductors side of the long hood is almost gone (and it is completely gone on the right side). The unit had been sitting in Burnham for the past four months and was seen here at the 36th Street Yard. The writing on the fuel tank says "Running from the answer brings us no closer to the truth".

The unit shove coal trains through the rotary tilt. Apparently it is having some problems though and has been (temporarily) replaced by a UP unit. The switcher is seen here sitting in the Equipment Yard at the same place where UP 1989 was unveiled in June 2006! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Now, the units are leading the southbound Denver to Kansas City manifest (HDENKCK-13). The first four tank cars have reporting marks CORX and are filled with beer from the Coors Brewing plant in Golden! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

EMD 3 was involved in a collision at a grade crossing a few days earlier. Note that the plow is missing from the unit and there is some pretty good damage around and above the anti-climber!

Prior to the construction of Denver International Airport, Stapleton International Airport had north/south runways that went right over the tracks here. Today, the MDVSI-13 is starting its trek east across the plains. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101986 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 13, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 633 Denver, CO 1632 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Limon (UP) Union Pacific Looks like a whole lot of power for not much train. In reality, the first two units (an ES44AC and an SD70M) are the only two even on, let alone loading. The six 40-series units trailing may well be headed for a torch. They've all been stored in a "dead line" at Burnham for the past six months. By comparison, UP 7814 is one of the newest units on UP's roster, having been delivered on March 8, 2008 - just over one month before this shot was taken!

The six 40-series units being towed are: WP 7888, UP 3167, UP 9872, UP 8860, UP 3144 and WP 7901. (Incidentally, UP uses "WP" on units that are scheduled for retirement -- it does not represent a unit that was once on the Western Pacific roster!)
