A GP40-2 and an SD40-2 lead a yard job back under the classic signal bridge at Utah Jct, shoving a string of covered hoppers in to North Yard. UP 1502 was built in in May 1971 as a GP40 for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (B&O 3776). It was later sold to Espee, becoming SP 7124, before eventually being rebuilt to Dash-2 specs and falling to UP ownership. Looking good for being 52 years old!
