Western Railroad Discussion > UP GP38-2 1074 Photo Wanted

Does anyone have a photo of UP GP38-2 #1075 they could post? How about when it was UP 2574 and in its prior life as DRGW GP40 #3051?

Anyone have any idea where this long-lived bit of power is hanging out these days?

TIA

- Kit

correction - current number is #1074.

Is it ex-DRGW 3051 or 3053? I only have a roster of 3051, but Don Strack's site says 1075 started life as 3053.

Here is a shot of the DRGW 3051 and 3053. Still looking for a shot of it
in UP paint as a GP38-2(3), I might not have one.

Thanks for correcting my error, Evan. I had written down 1075 as the current number for what was originally DRGW 3051, when I should have written 1074. What would we do without Don Strack's excellent database!

At one time (1976) Athern used to make an HO-scale GP40 in the 3051 number. I used to sit on the porch at my sister's place in Sweetwater, Colorado, across the river from the tracks a couple of miles north of Dotsero and hope I would see it go by. I did see it at least once, but I never was able to get a photo of it. We pretty much ran the wheels off the model on her son's layout.
