Even though Tier 4 environmental regulations took effect on January 1, 2015, some Tier 3 units, such as this ES44AC, are still being delivered in 2015 as some railroads built up some environmental credits, allowing them to continue to get some new power while GE and EMD continue to work on a viable Tier 4 product.

The E-units are only E-units on the outside. On the inside, they've been rebuilt and are now, in essence, GP38-2s. They are each rated at 2,000 horsepower. The DDA40X, on the other hand, is still rated at a full 6,600 horsepower. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

That is the motto that is stenciled on the water tower that stands tall over the small town, whose population is just under 500. Also in the frame is the Cheyenne Frontier Days special with UP's E9s and DDA40X leading. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

If true, it means it is possible the massive DDA40X will no longer be able to run once one of those custom parts breaks. Whether these rumors are true or not, I'm an uncertain. But with even the possibility, it is good to get as many pictures now as possible! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

We are just north of Platteville here as the train glides by. With no operable steam this year, UP used the E-units and the DD40AX for power.

Decades after the last DDA40X was retired from revenue service, UP 6936 still run and can, from time to time, be found on the rails. Such was the case on this July day when it was assisting as power on the Cheyenne Frontier Days passenger special. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

They are a part of the Union Pacific heritage fleet and they look sharp. They, along with DDA40X #6936, lead the Cheyenne Frontier Days passenger special north at 144th Avenue south of Brighton. I like the Colorado and Wyoming state flags on the cab. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Believe it or not, but it has been six years since I actually got track side for the event (prior to today). As you may or may not have heard, 2015 was the second year that Union Pacific did not have an operable steam engine for Frontier Days. However, a trio of classic E-units and a DDA40X make for some might fine power for the day. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

While I don't care to get in to such a debate here on my website, I would like to point out that I do personally appreciate the effort that a UP employee made to clean the flag on the side of this somewhat dingy ES44AC.

It was rerouted because floods from a week earlier took out the Front Range Sub, which was still under repair at this point. The BNSF train is awaiting the arrival of the California Zephyr, rerouting through Wyoming as the Moffat was also damaged in the flooding.
