Description:  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
Title:  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.

Reflections of a tagged 40-2
Title:  Reflections of a tagged 40-2
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
Title:  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.
