Swinging back by North Yard for the second time today, I found UP 1344 sitting, likely waiting for some light repairs. UP has laid off the vast majority of the folks capable of doing major repairs on engines in Denver. Anything too major will result in the unit being moved to North Platte, NE and Bailey Yard.
Something else worth mentioning is that this unit is very used to being in North Yard! It was originally delivered to Rio Grande as DRGW 3121 in September 1974! You can still clearly see where the MARS light once existed on the nose of the unit.
