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. |

UPY 845 |

UPY 821 |
Description: |
Delivered new to Missouri Pacific as SD40-2 3245 in September 1978, the lack of dynamic brakes made it an oddball on the UP roster. Instead of retirement this diesel was deturbocharged and downgraded to SD38-2 specs and now used in hump service. This unit now sports four exhaust stacks instead of one but kept three radiator fans instead of two typical of the 38 series. |

Later this diesel wore MP 2032 to UP 2032 and is now 312. While UP purged itself of nearly all the dynamic brakeless SD40/SD40-2 fleet, the GP38-2s remained. |
