UP SD40-2's and Utah RR SD50's a night of standard cabs
Author: SF5953

I went out to capture Utah Railway's SD50S. Union Pacific decide to throw me a bone, and give me a nice train of SD40-2's.

UP 1689, 2013, 8434 there had to be one modern locomotive. Mesa, (Jordan Narrows), Utah 6-22-2017.

Broad side of the 40's. Now for the featured attraction. Utah Railway SD50S's 6061 and 6060 on the RUT611. Provo to Ogden Manifest. These are 2 of the last 3 SD's running on the Utah Railway. SD50S 6063 and 6064 have reportedly been sold to Metro industries. And the MK50-3 are already on the Kyle. That leave us with 2 grey and red SD50S and one orange one.

I then took a chance on getting one more shot of the Utah before the sun went down, and pulled it of at Murray. Then some more from the Narrows. The nightly parade of UTA Front Runners 21 and 3.

Front Runner 6 and 5. And last of all I stopped by the Midvalle yard for some of the last rays of sun. A sting of 5 of Utah Railway's local power GP38-3 and GP40-3's, also in the back ground are the Savage GP38's

Thank you for looking

Some great catches and photos! I know that I'm dating myself by saying it, but there is something about a -2 leading a train that just looks right.

Great shots! I drove through Provo yard yesterday and 6063 & 6064 were still sitting in the yard. 6062 was MIA but I assume it was just in the shop being worked on. It will be sad to see the SD50S go but in some ways it will be good for Utah as the SD50S are full of issues now.

UTAH 6063 is going to MEI for maintenance. UTAH 6064 is going to the Chicago, Ft. Wayne and Eastern RR.

So the 6063 may come back. That would be great.
