Eastern Railroad Discussion > UP 5700-5769

Have any of these units been released from GE-Erie yet?

L.G.

On the 14th I seen a lite power move from Erie with the following units: UP5749, UP5708, UP5700, UP5701, UP5709, UP5733, UP5710, and BNSF 663(warbonnet SF). Hopefully this will give you some info.
Wish I had a camera it was nice and sunny and our train had to wait for these damn things to get out of the way!!!

that lite ngine move was called the X002. I sa it while I was sitting in Marion Oh on the Q347. In MY case, I was waiting for a diesel service truck to arrive so that I could get a stuck brake cylinder on a former UP C-36-M(now HLCX576) released...I sure coulda used those shiny new engines! As for the lite units, they were split up at Indianapolis, and by the time I got MY train back home, the lead 2 were already departing on a westbound Salem (UP) train. True "gas and go" yard! Hope that helps!~~DRLOCO

Just saw 5745 and 5746 go thru Hopkinsville, KY on CSX G521 heading to Nashville on the Henderson Sub (1500 CSX Time). They look good with the WINGS
