UP 1463 |
| Description: |
A yard hostler guides the engineer through the Davidson Yard ready tracks from the stepwell of a GP40M-2 where it will idle until assigned to a departing freight. Delivered to Chesapeake & Ohio as C&O 4078 GP40 in July 1971 dressed in Enchantment Blue and Federal Yellow but would later be repainted into the Chessie System scheme still keeping the same number. The Chessie/Seaboard System merger would bring a new number to this unit becoming CSXT 6833 in 1987 but would be retired without ever entering the CSX paint booth. Morrison Knudsen purchased and rebuilt this diesel for Southern Pacific releasing it on July 16, 1991 as SP 7126 GP40M-2. On July 22, 2010, this locomotive fell under the Union Pacific flag when it was patched UP 1463 and given a full repaint two years later. Note the dents on the fuel tank, evidence of a previous sideswipe incident. |

| Description: |
I've never been near a quiet, empty locomotive when it remotely starts. It's a bit creepy, as if it's haunted. |

UP 1511 |
| Description: |
Switching duties are being handled by a GP38-2 and GP40M-2 rather than the usual Genset/SD38-2 combo. The GP40M-2 was built for B&O in 1969, rebuilt for SP and now works for UP. |

UP 1522 |
| Description: |
This old timer was delivered to Baltimore & Ohio as GP40 3687 in November 1966. For three weeks in October to November 1980 she became 9687 then 6503 until the CSX merger when the numberboards were changed to 6303. On September 12, 1989 this Geep was retired and went to Morrison-Knudsen for rebuilding. On December 28, 1990 this locomotive emerged from the M-K shop as Cotton Belt GP40M-2 7287 in full SSW dress. After the Union Pacific merger the new owner renumbered her to 5422 in September 1997 and finally 1522 in December 1999. Hard to believe this is a 46+ year old diesel. |
