Not sure how many SD60s UP still rosters, but it can't be that many since this is the first time I've laid eyes on one in 10 years of railfanning! |

UP 2531 leads a 23-car MAGBUB |
Description: |
Designated "C45AH" on the cab. Bit strange...I thought UP's ES44ACs (or C45ACCTE, as they call them) were numbered in the 5000s or 7000s-8000s, and the C45AHs were 8052-8267. Some sources identify this as a Tier 4 unit but it doesn't have the smooth single angle under the radiators that those do. |

Description: |
Dynamic brakes whine as LTS-71 rounds the curve west of Necedah with sand loads from Hi-Crush at Valley. They have to stop because the west switch in town was left lined for the siding. Behind 3690 are an SD40N and a GP60! |

Old Warriors |
Description: |
The weatherbeaten and heavily tagged 3690 is one of not many UP SD40-2s left that has not been rebuilt to SD40N and renumbered accordingly, like 1990 behind. It was also a direct purchase by UP upon construction in 1980, rather than a merger acquisition. |
