Face of 3611 |
Description: |
When this unit was first built it was up to specs to work in hot summers on the ATSF. Unfortunately its time in British Colombia has meant it no longer has an air conditioning unit! With temperatures near 100 Fahrenheit in Utah right now, I bet the crew sure wishes this engine still had its ATSF AC unit in it. Note the high mounted bell, another testament to the modifications this engine received when it worked in Canada. |

Snowflake |
Description: |
With its clean white exterior, UTA 901 has gained the nickname "Snowflake" from local railfans. A strange twist of irony, as the winter of 2015-16 proved unusually harsh for this snowy engine, when cold temperatures literally froze components of the engine in place, forcing the need for sudden emergency repairs. Now, in a 100 degree summer, Snowflake is back at work serving both UTA and the Union Pacific. Here is Snowflake at her usual resting spot in UPs Fourth South Yard |

Reunion with a Friend |

Back from her sojourn in Nevada, UP 1684 is once again based in Salt Lake Citys North Yard. With this being perhaps my favorite SD40N, it was quite the pleasure to see her again this close. To the left of the train is a UP MOW crew performing track work. The white ballasted track in the foreground is UTAs Frontrunner right of way. |
