Got power? Twelve units glide east down the main at Plain...but why east? Light power like will head west, destined for the Glenwood Springs yard to be used as mid-train swing helpers on coal trains. So why are these units headed east? The answer is because eight of the units are being moved from "dead lines" in Grand Junction to "dead lines" in North Platte, NE. UP has hundreds of units in long term storage in Grand Junction. These eight are being moved...possibly to be sold off at auction.
