I did not hear any conversations on the scanner, so I am not sure sure the stop was made. It only last about 10 minutes. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 109580 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, October 8, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North of Platteville Platteville, CO 250 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific UP 2047 is one of numerous rebuilt SD40-2s on UP's roster in 2023. The unit now carries the designation SD40N, indicating that it has in fact gone through the rebuild program. Great to see one is arguable the most reliable diesel-electric unit ever built still in active service. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

UP 9006 is a "Tier-4 Credit Unit". UP, like many Class 1 railroads, used carbon credits to purchase some Tier-3 compliant units after the deadline.

A week later, and sister unit BNSF 8102 has joined 6705! Not sure why these units are sitting here along the Greeley Sub. They must be power share units as BNSF has no trackage rights on the Greeley Sub. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

UP 2632 and UP 8815 provide the power with UP 1370 catching a ride. The size of the newer units compared to the 50 year old GP40-2 is very apparent!

GE has, as of this photo, sold 1,117 Tier-4 units to six Class 1 railroads. By comparison, EMD has sold only 100 Tier-4 compliant SD70ACe-T4s, all to UP.

With the closure of Burnham in Denver, no major repairs can be done in Denver. More than likely, the unit is headed to the shops there for maintenance. Incidentally, this particularly GP40-2 was originally DRGW 3119. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is currently stopped as a second train, a manifest, is stopped ahead of the local. They are both waiting on a northbound manifest that will take the siding.

I honestly have no clue where this lone unit was coming from or where it was headed! Part of a local? Off to rescue a train? Not sure. But the scene looks nice at sunset creeps closer and closer.

This lone BNSF ES44C4 must be a lease unit, but it is interesting that it is sitting off the main on one of the lead tracks for Vestas, manufacturer of wind turbines.
