While BNSF still has around 1,400 C44-9Ws on their roster, UP has under 300, and many of those are frequently in storage. So it was a bit of a surprise to find this C44-9W on a westbound sand train. Looks like the unit was involved in some type of fire at some point! The unit was delivered in 1994, arriving as SP 8138. It was only on the Espee roster for six years, as it changed to UP 9602 on November 22, 2000.
