Western Railroad Discussion > Various Geeps in Central Texas

1) UP GP60 #1966 rests between assignments in Smithville, Texas on April 11, 2015. 1966 was built in 1989 as SSW #9664. It was repainted in UP colors in the early 2000s.

2) UP GP38-2 #537, still in the increasingly rare 'We Will Deliver' livery rests at Flatonia, Texas on April 11, 2015. 537 was delivered new to the UP in 1974 as #2031. It was renumbered to it's current number in order to make room for SD60 renumberings. 

3) HLCX GP38-2 #1805 was the other loco on the local that day.

Nice roster shots.

Those HLCX units are like fire ants; they're everywhere in Texas!
