UP 1996 at Oakland UP servicing facilities this morning
Author: AlcoRSD15

UP 1996 (SP heritage unit) was spotted off BART at the UP locomotive servicing facilities, in Oakland, about 45 minutes ago.  It's back to back with a GE.

The 1996 is currently leading the KOADU 01, and train shows at Ogden, UT at this time.

According to witnesses, UP 1996 was the second unit when it departed Emeryville (Oakland) yesterday. I won't speculate on what happened to the leader - someone probably knows.

Yes, the list now shows the 1996 second out behind the 5655, so don't know if the power was wyed somewhere en route or the list was wrong on the train out of Ogden, where the train spent 5 hours yesterday.
