Nostalgia & History > UP FM H20-44 #1365Date: 02/20/17 09:31 UP FM H20-44 #1365 Author: valmont Found this dupe in my UP file: H20-44 #1365 ... UP diesel roster shows they had 11 of them. Any idea where this was taken?
New Info from Alan Miller: @ Council Bluffs 2/11/62 by Dick Wallin (2:17 PM MST 2/20/17) Notes below from UtahRails.net: UP 1365 and 1366 were both used as Fairbanks-Morse demonstrator 2000, one on a western states tour and the other on an eastern states tour. F-M 2000 was displayed at 1947 Atlantic City Railroad Fair; both units were delivered to UP in October 1947 as the first units in Fairbanks-Morse order number LD43, which included UP 1367-1370. UP 1360-1370 were delivered with D.S. (Diesel Switch) prefix on road number; removed during March 1953. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 02/20/17 13:18 by valmont.

Date: 02/20/17 14:01 Re: UP FM H20-44 #1365 Author: australianterrier UP 1366 went to Southwest Portland Cement and became their 409. It currently preserved at the Illinois Railway Museum. Jim Date: 02/20/17 15:47 Re: UP FM H20-44 #1365 Author: SGillings The FM's were replaced by steam helpers over Cajon in mid-1950. In the Fall of 1951, the steam helpers were replaced by the EMDs.

SWPC got two UP H20-44's, #1366 and 1369, and the unit at the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum in Campo, CA is most likely the former 1369.

Hpw many other instances were there when a new diesel loco was replaced by steam? - Norm Date: 02/21/17 18:06 Re: UP FM H20-44 #1365 Author: SGillings More information from Chard Walker's book "Railroading Through Cajon Pass." One problem with the FMs was that they were not equipped for MU. Also, UP was not happy with their performance as while one was rated at 1500 tons from Victorville to Summit, experience showed that one engine could only dependably handle about 1320 tons. See page 166 of his book for more.
