SP 9794 |
Description: |
Lately a lot of unpatched SP power has been showing up in Fort Worth. SP 9794 is especially special, this is the last true GP built for a US railroad (GP20Ds don't count!) as well as the highest numbered (and last) GP60 on the SP roster. UP 2004 is the locomotive that sholdn't be, this locomotive is either SP 9701 or 9704 but I've not had any luck locating frame information. Can anyone shed some light? |

UP 9414 |
Description: |
When I took this photo I just snapped away not noticing this unit is riding on two different trucks, a standard GE C truck and a rare Adirondack. Makes me wonder where this truck came from and how it ended up under a UP unit. This is the second UP unit I've caught with this type of truck. |
