UP 1553
Title:  UP 1553
Description:  A trio of SD40Ns roll light towards a waiting train bound for Dallas. In the 1990s I avoided UP's SD40-2 fleet as best I could, now in the 21st century I seek them out. I wonder if this diesel will outlive the C44-9Ws or ES44ACs?

Title:  HLCX 1034
Description:  This old timer was delivered in May 1966 Seaboard as GP40 613 and after a long career with numerous railroads and lessors this old timer found a home with Helm. After a rebuilding to GP38-2 specs this diesel joined the UP fleet in full UP paint. After UP ordered all leased power off their roster this diesel wore patched UP paint with Helm markings. In August 2012 this diesel received a Helm maroon dip job but remains employed by UP.

CSX 5421
Title:  CSX 5421
Description:  From what I can tell this locomotive was wrecked in late 2011 or in January 2012 and parked in Riverdale, IL. Nearly two years since the accident this locomotive has not been repaired and is now in KCS' Deramus Yard in Shreveport. I wonder if the delay in repairs is due to the insurance problems or if the damage is too extensive making it uneconomical to repair.
