They aren't retired, just long stored. For some reason they are moving a number to Pueblo for storage. Not sure why, maybe it is more out of the way.

Amazing that UP has been able to keep these things on the road this long. For what seemed like a decade they were a mainstay on the Portland, OR to Eastport, ID trains.

Nice catch. I caught this train by Pikes Peak International Raceway on the drive to Pueblo. I'm not apt to shoot Uncle Pete, but, hey, it's hard to pass up 8 EMDs on the head end!

They haven't really been on the road in the past few years. Just shuffled around dead from yard to yard.
