Red Goat update......
Author: hawkeye

Sitting at Hill AFB, Utah this afternoon. I almost missed it on the way home this afternoon. Photo was taken from I-15 hence the fence. At least one of the tracks in the foreground was part of the former Bamberger Railroad between Salt Lake City and Ogden. The U.P. uses the former Bamberger line to service Hill AFB and the RR repair/rebuild shop there.

Classic member can't read the number. Which of the three am I looking at?

Thanks,

Jody

Great. Thanks for the update. I wonder if the 6001 and 6002 are over there somewhere also...

I didn't see the others, just that one......although they could have had them in the engine house/shop.

What is it doing there? I have seen RR equipment stored at Hill AFB but there does not seem to be enough activity to require a new switcher.

I've heard that Hill AFB is where the Army does its locomotive rebuilding. I believe these units are getting new batteries? Perhaps that's why they are there. I believe only the 6000 and 6001 are actually at Hill AFB.
