UP @ Laramie, 5 units, 5 models 1970
Author: valmont

UP F9A 535 leading GP9B/GP9/GP30/SD24B in a typical (at the time) UP potpourri of power. I shot this on Aug. 9, 1970 @ Laramie, WY

That third unit looks like an Omaha GP20 -- a turbocharged GP9.

All members of EMD's 567 family, all different. Very cool!

UP sold its remaining F units (all F9ms) to Rock Island in May, 1972. See Don Strack's fine Utah Rails website for a roster.

Best regards,

Rob,
I remember working with and seeing those F's on the Rock Island. I believe they traded some of their Rock Island F's to EMD for trade ins in place for the UP F's.
