UP 5699 |
| Description: |
At first glance this appears to be just another among hundreds of Union Pacific ES44AC diesels ... But it is not. Train MDOWC-22 (Merchandise; Dolores Yard [Carson CA] to West Colton Yard [Bloomington CA]) is led by a General Electric demonstrator without a normal model designation – The builders plate (actually a sticker) lists this as an "AC V12 Tier II Prototype". This is a preproduction precursor to the ES44AC, and the UP owned five of them, numbered 5695-5699 (DC-variant demonstrators also were delivered to BNSF and NS). These were built in January and February 2003, and were used to field test the new Tier II emission systems. The train is seen at the UPs Dolores Yard on July 22nd, 2003. (Thanks to Greg McDonnell for the background information on these, and confirmation of the model.) |

UP 5779 |
| Description: |
A trainload of coal from the West Elk Mine at Arco, Colorado, passes by the iconic Castle Rock, which was clearly visible in photos of the early transcontinental railway in the 1860s. Lead engine 5779, a GE-built AC4400CW, is quite a bit different than the 4-4-0s and 2-8-0s and other early steam locomotives that have passed by this rock formation for the past 144 years! However, the name on the locomotives - Union Pacific - remains unchanged. |

UP 5849 |
| Description: |
Union Pacific 5839 leads a hot manifest train, the MWCNP 31 (West Colton CA to North Platte NE), over the Summit of Cajon Pass on a snowy New Years Eve 2014. Assisting the AC4400CW are Ferromex ES44AC 4667 and UP SD60M 2490 and SD70M 4278 (with AC4400CW 6473 as the rear DPU). This train is hot enough that management tracks its progress very closely to ensure no delays. |
