Western Railroad Discussion > SD9043MAC's In Nampa, Idaho Yard

I counted nearly 50 SD9043MAC's stored in the UP Nampa Yard last week.
I was counting them while driving, so not a 100% accurate count, but close.
The line is nearly a mile long.
There's only one other stored engine in the yard, which I believe is a Dash 9.
Has UP reactivated all of the older stored power that was in the yard previously?
I noticed "bankshotone"s post below and have the same questions.

From September of 2017 via Sean Graham-White's post to the LocoNotes group, a chunk of the Dash-8 fleet were sold to GE, with another group heading for scrap. UP9281, shown here in April 2017 in the deadline at Nampa, shows as heading to GE. Some of the Dash-9's were activated, and maybe some of the Dash-8's were, but I'm not sure if the SD60/SD60M's that were around are all activated, or moved somewhere else.

Here are a couple photos of the SD90/43MAC's from April 2017 before the great GE purge of 2017 occurred in Nampa.

Did anyone notice if 3681 with the flag is among them ?

I don't have a list of everything in Nampa, but checking my notes on what I have seen and looking at photographs, I do not see 3681 as part of the collection.

Thank you for checking
