Photo ID: 110401 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 14, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 338 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific A GP38-2 (now designated as a GP38N after a rebuilt by UP) and an SD40-2 sit together near the yard office in North Yard. These two units are idle at the moment, but when needed, they'll be used as switcher in the yard. It is pretty easy to trace the heritage of UP 737 by virtue of the fact that it has no dynamic brakes. With very few exception, nearly any unit without dynamic brakes is of Missouri Pacific heritage. MoPac ordered many units that had no dynamic brakes as MoPac ran in (relatively) flat lands. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
