In the last few years, Union Pacific retired some of its older power such as C40-8's and SD60's. Frequently when old power is retired by a Class 1, it either winds up on a smaller railroad, or it is picked up by a leasing company. Such is the case here. This SD60 was picked up by National Railway Equipment Leasing and is currently putting in hours on BNSF.

This snoot-nose NREX SD40T-2 is ex-Espee 8391. It was sold to National Railway Equipment which proceeded to remove the scarlet red from the unit and put "NREX" is large letters on the long hood.

Of course the sun was still high enough to create a nice line through this former Rio Grande SD40T-2. That's okay though, because when it comes to these units, you have to take what you can get!
