You may not know it at first glance, but this SD40T-2 was in fact DRGW 5374 once upon a time! It might just be the most renumber ex-Grande unit out there. It was DRGW 5374 until August 18, 1999 when it was repainted and renumber UP 4059. Eight months later, it was renumbered UP 8629 to make room for the SD70M's. Two years after that, it was again renumbered to UP 2897. It stayed that way for 18 months until it was retired on October 13, 2003. Then, finally, it was reactivated (as a leaser under GE Capital) as GECX 2897 on April 29, 2004! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

While UP's Armour Yellow scheme is not my favorite, I must admit that a freshly painted (or even freshly washed) unit can look outstanding! This ES44AC has all the latest bells and whistles (pardon the pun) when it comes to fuel efficiency and electronics. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

No, not a new style of convertible engine...about a week before this picture was taken, several tank cars got away from a switch job in Rennicks yard and rolled back to the 38th street yard. The Salt Mine (switch job) was working the yard track that the tanks went down. BNSF 1532 here was one of the two units used for power. Fortunately, all crew members were notified in advance and nobody was injured. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
