Okay, it is time to depart! UP 1837, a snoot-nose SD40-2, puts on a bit of an exhaust show as the engineer throttle up to start pulling the (roughly) 40 car Limon Local eastbound on Main 1 toward a green signal. UP 6168 was delivered as SP 139 in April 1995. I was a sophomore in high school at the time, and remember seeing those new scarlet and gray units sometimes when I was getting lunch.
