Photo ID: 112540 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, June 1, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 79 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific Since the start of PSR (Precision Scheduled Railroading) on UP, it is not uncommon for North Yard to be relatively devoid of power. However, on this particular June 1st, there is actually quite a bit of power waiting to be serviced. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I think railfans were a bit surprised when this unit was unveiled as there was no real event that occurred that suggested an Abraham Lincoln unit was on the horizon. Regardless, I am not complaining. Any chance for something a little different, and I am all about it. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I am not familiar with the yard here, but I would speculate that the engines UP 1616 are sitting with might be on ready tracks, awaiting for assignment.

Photo ID: 112461 Date Shot Photo By Monday, May 19, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Council Bluffs (UP) Council Bluffs, IA 143 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific Union Pacific newest specially painted unit sits idle in the yard in Council Bluffs, IA. This SD70M is wearing the number "1616" in honor of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States. Additionally, while the paint scheme is similar to that of UP 4141, painted in honor of George W Bush, the colors on this Abraham Lincoln unit are unique. The inspiration for the colors come from colors used around Abraham Lincoln's time. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

And of the ones they do have, even fewer are EMD's SD70ACe-T4. The units are mechanically complex and expensive to maintain. UP 3069 is an example of one such unit. Not the long hood that does not have the slants that of a normal SD70ACe. Additionally, there are three radiator fans instead of two.
