After getting just a couple runbys of 2172 when it was assigned to this job in the spring, I wanted to take the opportunity to add to my UP SD60 roster! |

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. |

Easy Does It |
| Description: |
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. |

Little Red...well, you know |
| Description: |
Union Pacific's Winona-Adams and Adams-Winona wayfreights (LTA-42 and LTA-41, respectively) are almost unique among freight trains in Wisconsin for still using a caboose on a daily basis. This is due to a shove move they have to make to access UP's isolated yard in Winona, and the car is not staffed while the train is on the road. |

Turn 'Em Loose |
| Description: |
After a 10 MPH amble along the rickety Winona Sub from the CP junction at Tunnel City, the trio of EMDs are opened up for the 25-mile sprint to Adams on the welded rail of the Altoona Sub. |
