Whether or not this is temporary storage or not remains to be seen. Most of these units have been here since early December 2006. The line consists of SD40-2s, SD50s, SD60s, C40-8s and some switchers. UP 9858 (ex-SP 5514, nee-DRGW 5514) is on the south end of the string of units. The tracks in the foreground are a part of RTD's Light Rail system in Denver. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101166 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, January 20, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Burnham Shops Denver, CO 2082 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific, Southern Pacific Every since the start of December 2006, a few of the older units on UP's system have been placed in storage. Such is the case with UP 9858, sitting on a yard track in the Burnham Shops in Denver. Up until August 2001, this unit was SP 5514 (ex-DRGW 5514). It was patched after the UP merger and renumbered UP 5108. It kept that number for a mere 13 months, when it was renumbered to UP 9858 in September 2002 to make room for the SD70M's.
