Still Got It |
| Description: |
The old-school UP paint on these SD60s is rather faded, but as a 1980s classic myself, it's good to see them in service. UP still has all but one (a wreck write-off) of the original 85 units they ordered from EMD, although they have been renumbered from their original 6000-series. At one point they rostered an additional 55 acquired as part of the C&NW merger, but those have since been sold off. They are a bit difficult to find in the Midwest, those based in the Twin Cities area seldom venture east of Adams in Wisconsin and almost never appear on the east-west main (Geneva Sub) out of Proviso. Not sure where on the vast UP system the rest of these units hide out. |

UP 2172 |
| Description: |
Two weeks after sighting my first-ever UP SD60, I get my first one leading! This kind of power seldom gets east of Adams. The defunct Cloverdale post office was near this location along State Highway 21 a couple miles west of Necedah. |

The conductor has just lined the switch for the Altoona Sub main (which curves sharply off to the right), momentarily the train will creep off the rickety jointed rail of the Winona Sub and put the hammer down for Adams. |

These seldom get east of Altoona, and even more seldomly east of Adams, and many of them (primarily the ex-CNW ones that were native to these rails) were sold to NS for conversion to SD60E. |
