UP 2188 out of storage
Author: CBRL

Couldn't resist posting this shot of an SD60 in the Eugene yard yesterday. Can't recall when I last saw one.

UP says going to North Platte and to be overhauled in 2017.

Impressive looks with the standard cab--they may not make many main line trains, but I hope NLR reworks many of them for locals and intra-division trains.

There is also a 3-window SD60M, UP 2133, that is sitting under a bridge and is inaccessible for photos. Glad to hear they are rebuilding some of the old units, I saw another 2 C6044ACs yesterday and probably 20 have run through here in the past 3 months or so.

Yeah, they are going to see about getting it up to 88 MPH in Spokane, and... :)

I imagine the poster means the loco is in transit to North Platte soon...
