Life is short, break the rules. Forgive quickly, kiss slowly. Love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that makes you smile. - Samuel Longhorne Clemens (Mark Twain)

Union Pacific Engine Facility Denver CO - Part 2

I was able to get a few more shots of the three engines from a bit different angle than the first ones. Its mostly remembering to sit on the seat opposite where I normally do. Shooting through the glass is killing me, I need to find my polarizing filters to cut down on some of that glare. I'm not good enough with GIMP to figure out if I can just remove it although using the white balance helps a lot. Anyway here they are again, plus a bonus shot of one of the UP's little switchers.
GMTX 2682 - GP38-2
 
UP 1482 (ex SP) GP40-2
UP 6387 (ex SP) C44CW
Bonus Shot! UP 1321 MP15DC

Union Pacific Engine Facility Denver CO

There as been a lot of activity at the UP facility this week. After a couple of false starts with the real camera I finally managed to get some reasonable shots at some of the more interesting "foreign" power that I have seen hanging around this week.
First up is some leased power; GMTX 2682  a GP38-2
 Next we have an ex-Southern Pacifc now UP1482, a GP40-2
 And then last but certainly not least an ex-Southern Pacific now UP 6195, a C44CW
I had originally ID this as an SD60M but I missed a renumbering after the merger and my friend Ken pointed out that this was really an C44CW. The lucky dog gets to ride on these beasts now and then.
