I was a bit surprised to find this old "triclops" SD60M sitting on the ready track in North Yard. I had heard that UP is slowly clearing out a lot of the units that have been stored in Grand Junction, which is likely where this relic of the 1980s and 1990s came from. Not sure if it is going to head for storage, a rebuild, sale, or the scrapper. Considering a chunk of the long hood behind the dynamic brake fan is missing at the top, I'm guessing the disposition might not be great!
