The SP renumber is an AC44 and the UP loco is a CW45 I think. I don't know the UP roster that well, but I know it's clearly not a C40

Great catch! Now thats a good stance for a "Pass-by Observation".

UP 6226 is an AC4400CW. SD60Ms are EMDs, and that locomotive is a GE. also, 5669 is not a C40-8. C40-8s have spartan cabs and only one C40-8W ever got nose wings. 5669 is also an AC4400CW

All four locos in this pic are C44ACs because UP doesn't run D.C. traction locos on their coal trains anymore. UP 5669 is a C44ACCTE. So this info should end the debate about what type of locos are on this train.

For all I know the diesels could be (insert any model number here)....It's a Beautiful photograph, made even better by the crew member from X5669 on the ground to watch X6226 pass....he even has a matching UP Yellow shirt on. Fine Work, Mr. Fliris.

It is a cool shot of a meet in progress. Don't worry about the rivet counters. The UP roster is full of alphabet soup. I could never keep track of a lot of those units, and UP always seems to have a slew of special models, slight variations of the off the shelf power that they give its own classification to. Almost like you can't tell them without a score card. Home page 08-22-2020
