Western Railroad Discussion > SD9043MAC leading w/b in AZDate: 04/18/18 05:25 SD9043MAC leading w/b in AZ Author: SD70M Bet the crew loved it. Yesterday evening at Benson AZ I noted one of the recently reactivated units, 3582, on the point of a westbound train of empty intermodal equipment. Also of note earlier was a smart looking 9540 on an eastbound stack train. This must be one of the few remaining C41-8w,s left in the roster.

It becoming more and more common to see SD60Ms and dash 9s in the mix on the main line every day. I will say some of these SD60Ms are looking pretty rough must be original paint yet.

Yesterday I caught a northbound heading into Eugene with a crusty SD60M and a recently-painted Dash 9 third and fourth in the consist.

The UP 3582 is on the point of the IMQLBR 16 and is passed Redlands, CA at 11:19. The 2nd unit on the train was the original leader, but it went down and they had to replace it.
