Western Railroad Discussion > Locomotives storedDate: 03/15/19 17:21 Locomotives stored Author: dougd Must be a line of 30+ engines at Elkol (Kemmerrer) Wyo. Too far from the road to read numbers.
Are there line-ups like these all over the UP expanse? Date: 03/15/19 18:25 Re: Locomotives stored Author: DKay Yes,there are a few.Apparently the new Tier 4 EMD's are all in storage.It was mentioned here recently that the SD70M's were about to go into storage also.

But several hundred is not out of the question. Until the "Good Idea Fairy" makes another visit to Omaha and they start doing something else entirely... Date: 03/15/19 19:51 Re: Locomotives stored Author: sdrake There must be at least 20 to 30 locomotives stored in Salt Lake's North Yard. There are 2 tier 4 SD70ACE-T4s and at least 4 tier 4 GEs along with a number of tier 3 GEs plus a number of older SD70s.

Actually ATSF terminology that BNSF adopted after the merger. Date: 03/18/19 18:49 Re: Locomotives stored Author: ble692 Android Wrote:

LUGO and it's siblings as already mentioned are BNSF, nee-ATSF, terms. |
