UP 1979 is an SD70M painted in the "We Are ONE" scheme. UP created the unit as a unifying unit amongst UP employees. It highlights all of the Employee Resource Groups UP has. The first such group was the Black Employees Network (called "BEN"). That group was created in 1979, hence the number choice for the unit.

Behind UP's shield and wings is an orange and yellow heart, with the pink and green bands wrapping around the base from the sides of the nose. Overall, a pretty creative design to be sure!

Behind the unit, we find only a handful of units around the fueling and sanding racks. The yard itself looks to be a bit on the empty side. However, it is encouraging to see an empty coal train sitting on yard track 1! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The reference to the train being "well-blocked" means that there are groups of cars meant to be together and will likely remain together for their duration here at Coors. Today's train also has a pair of spartan cab unit that will be used on the Golden local for the next week. The local runs east out of the upper yard Monday through Friday.

Nearly 50 years after its original build date, BNSF 1660 is still in service and working daily. Running a local may not be as prestigious as train it once ran, but it is great so many of this classic EMD units are still on the rails.
