Union Pacific is in the process of converting the AC6000CW fleet back to standard 4400HP AC4400CW (officially C44/60AC on UP's roster). The 6000HP experiment just didn't work out for UP. All of EMD's SD90MACs (with 6000HP) are off the roster and most of the AC6000CWs have been converted back. This unit, previous UP 7569, is waiting for is 4400 HP engine to be plopped in.

Photo ID: 103267 Date Shot Photo By Friday, February 19, 2010 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Burnham Shops Denver, CO 1869 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific I had the opportunity to get a tour of UP's Burnham Shops in Denver with the Rocky Club. It was a very cool experience. Even cooler to consider the Rio Grande history as these were the main shops for Rio Grande. Here, we see engines waiting for some traction motor replacement.

This AC4400CW was CNW 8829 up until June 2004 when it received its patch. Considering it has been 14 years since the UP/CNW merger, I'd say this unit is looking pretty darn good!
