UP 1873
Title:  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
Title:  UPY 845
Description:  Delivered to Missouri Pacific as SD40-2 3310 in December 1979, lack of dynamic braking made this an excellent candidate for downgrading to hump service. After losing the turbocharger this unit emerged as UP 2845 then reassigned to UPY 845. The ghost of the number 2 still haunts the cabside.

UPY 821
Title:  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.
