Photo ID: 108890 Date Shot Photo By Friday, November 11, 2022 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Hillsdale Hillsdale, WY 311 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Sidney (UP) Union Pacific I consider myself quite privileged that I had the opportunity - on more than one occasion - to witness UP 6936 operating on special trains on the UP. This even includes a couple occasions I saw it run on the Moffat. While I am glad that it is going to be maintained at the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America museum in Silvas, IL, I am sad that it will no longer roam free on throughout UP's system.

Two of its sister units, 402 and 403, were sold to the Royal Gorge Route Railroad in Canon City, CO. 401 was not lucky enough to be included in that deal, and so here it rolls east on the Sidney Sub.

Photo ID: 108886 Date Shot Photo By Friday, November 11, 2022 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Archer Curve Cheyenne, WY 284 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Sidney (UP) Union Pacific UPB 966 has seen better days! This is an E9B that was originally UP, then sold to Amtrak when Amtrak was first formed. Once Amtrak received newer equipment, it was sold back to UP where it was stored at the roundhouse in Cheyenne and used for parts for the operable E9s UP still has on the heritage fleet. It appears that no more cannibalism is possible as it is being donated to the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America museum in Silvas, IL.

Photo ID: 108883 Date Shot Photo By Friday, November 11, 2022 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Archer Curve Cheyenne, WY 246 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Sidney (UP) Union Pacific UP 6936 is one of 47 DDA40X produced between 1969 and 1971 by EMD. It is the largest diesel locomotive ever built, weighing in at roughly 270 tons. It has four axles on each of its two trucks and has two prime movers. Alas, after just over 50 years of UP ownership, it is now being donated to the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America museum in Silvas, IL.

Photo ID: 108882 Date Shot Photo By Friday, November 11, 2022 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Archer Curve Cheyenne, WY 263 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Sidney (UP) Union Pacific UP 5511 is the only-remaining 2-10-2 "Santa Fe" type steam engine in existence. It has sat at UP's roundhouse in Cheyenne for decades, but UP never ended up investing in a restoration project for it. Now, it is headed east to be donated to the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America museum in Silvas, IL. The museum says they eventually plan to restore it to operational condition.

It last ran in September 2010 when it actually led the (now defunct) Circus Train down the Greeley Sub to Denver from Cheyenne. Since then...and in particular since UP sunk its efforts in to restoring UP 4014...the old gal has sat in Cheyenne. Now, it is off to the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America museum as part of a donation from UP. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Most likely the very last time that either of these steam engines will traverse these rails. Neither steam engine, as is pretty obvious, was under steam here.

Photo ID: 108158 Date Shot Photo By Monday, June 1, 2020 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 408 Sidney, NE 669 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Sidney (UP) Union Pacific One of my absolute favorite (more modern) engines is the SD70M Phase 2. The Phase 2 is my favorite in particular because the radiator intakes are angled out slightly. Not as much as an SD45, but more than an SD70M Phase 1. In addition, the teardrop windshield is in place and the original EMD wide cab looks great before the new nose introduced in the Phase 3 (and subsequently on SD70ACes).

Such is the case of Union Pacific as a string of 40 to 50 SD70Ms are currently being stored in the small yard in Sidney, NE along the Overland.
