UPY 2655 |
| Description: |
One of Union Pacific's ubiquitous (at least in these parts) RP20GE idles in Davidson Yard after a trip through the servicing bay. The frame of this Genset was originally delivered to Missouri Pacific as B30-7A 4809 in November 1981 and in October 1987 renumbered to UP 209 until retirement in March 2005. The retired GE was sent to Super Steel for rebuilding and returned to Union Pacific as RP20GE in May 2007. Judging from the oil stains and slanted exhaust stacks from engine #3 it would appear there has been some recent maintenance issues. |

| Title: |
UP 1873 |
| Description: |
In the days of SP the B39/B40-8 fleet sped intermodal trains around the SP system. UP uses these in local and low priority service when they aren't rusting away in storage. These diesels are now being retired by UP, hopefully these guys will find a second career rather than the scrapyard. Note the concrete structure next to the tracks, looks like a guard house. |
