UP 9755 is an example of a C44-9W that is currently in 36th Street. UP has taken some of these older units and rebuilt them into C44ACM, with AC traction motors.

Of the roughly 1,400 SD70Ms that UP ordered in the early 2000s, I am curious as to just how many are currently sitting in storage, not being used.

They are going to replace the ties throughout the 6.2 mile long Moffat Tunnel. The project includes quite a bit of fresh ballast as well. This ballast train is on Track 1 in North Yard. Currently, there is no power...but eventually, the train will be taken west, up to the Moffat. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

At the end of July, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern announced their intention to merge. There are many regulatory hurdles for the railroads to overcome, but if they end up getting approval to merge, this is a scene that will become far more common.
