I managed to catch a few more shots of the UP Facility over the last couple of weeks. There was an ex-SP diesel that kept dodging my camera for a few days but I finally managed to catch it, not the best of pictures but it will do. Another UP engine with some odd reporting marks on it as well. I'm not an expert by any means on these things so maybe someone out there knows what they mean. So a few pictures for you.

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.

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.
