There are some other manifest trains that run into North Yard, but these four are the most common ones. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Here's another UP unit that looks like it has probably spent some time in some place like Southern California. Sadly, the unit has been tagged with graffiti all over. Missouri Pacific fans might also be sad to learn this GP38-2 was originally MP 2163, delivered in January 1980. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Love seeing a classic blue and yellow painted unit (a so-called "Yellow Bonnet"), particularly when the paint has held up as well as this one has. Railfans that remember railroading in the 1980s might remember a train Santa Fe ran called the "DVLJ". It was an intermodal train that ran out of Big Lift (south of Denver on the Joint Line) to La Junta. GP39-2s were very common on that train...perhaps this geep even led that intermodal train 40 years ago. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
