UP 9999
Author: danausome

Just saw UP 9999 an ex-SP GP40X go by on a westbound through Wheaton, IL on the Geneva Sub. Interesting in that there is no SP lettering left and just a UP yellow number box on the cab. Thought you diesel spotters would want to know. Also been seeing some GE's with wings but I don't know if thats news or not.

I just caught the 9999 on this same westbound at Sterling,IL. Thanks for the tip that it was around here. It is on MPRCB headed for Council Bluffs,IA.

Here is my half-butted shot of 9999. "Shoot now and your're guaranteed to see it again" is my philosophy.

Will the real UP#9999 please stand up!
(I like the GP-40X myself)
Boy,
Great numbering system UP is using.
Two locomotives with the same number.
Wait untill there on the head end of a train the same
division the same day. A dispatchers nightmare.
How about 9999A and 9999B?
Dave
