The unit was originally a GP10, but was rebuilt by Peoria Locomotive Works. The unit is owned by Chattahoochee Locomotive. I find it interesting the unit has five digits, something that is not particularly common in the United States. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The unit is apparently owned by Chattahoochee Locomotive. I have no idea why it is in Denver, when it arrived, when it is leaving, or where it is heading.

Or rather, it was originally. UP has rebuilt it and it is now designated as an SD40N. This month, June 2025, the unit will celebrate its 51st birthday, with its entire life spent on Union Pacific's roster. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 112541 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, June 1, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 66 (2 Comments Posted) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific UP 1212 is 41 years old, having been delivered to MKT in April 1984 as a GP39-2. UP rebuilt the unit and it is now designated as a GP39N. The two radiator fans are spaced a bit further apart that most GP39-2s. Probably an artifact of the rebuild.

However, on this particular June 1st, there is actually quite a bit of power waiting to be serviced. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I think railfans were a bit surprised when this unit was unveiled as there was no real event that occurred that suggested an Abraham Lincoln unit was on the horizon. Regardless, I am not complaining. Any chance for something a little different, and I am all about it. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I am not familiar with the yard here, but I would speculate that the engines UP 1616 are sitting with might be on ready tracks, awaiting for assignment.

This SD70M is wearing the number "1616" in honor of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States. Additionally, while the paint scheme is similar to that of UP 4141, painted in honor of George W Bush, the colors on this Abraham Lincoln unit are unique. The inspiration for the colors come from colors used around Abraham Lincoln's time. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

And of the ones they do have, even fewer are EMD's SD70ACe-T4. The units are mechanically complex and expensive to maintain. UP 3069 is an example of one such unit. Not the long hood that does not have the slants that of a normal SD70ACe. Additionally, there are three radiator fans instead of two.
