Western Railroad Discussion > UPY GP15'sDate: 01/06/22 06:31 UPY GP15's Author: SlideSellerII How many UPY GP15's are still active (not stored) on the UP system? They seemed to be everywhere about 10 years ago and now are very hard to find, at least in the OMA/CB area
TIA Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/06/22 09:08 by SlideSellerII. Date: 01/06/22 08:25 Re: UPY GP15's Author: atx_railfan A friend of mine in Denver has seen them in North Yard pretty recently. Also saw one dead-in-tow on a manifest coming out of storage from Grand Junction maybe two months ago

 Date: 01/06/22 11:33 Re: UPY GP15's Author: FiestaFoamer This isn't a comprehensive answer to your question, but coincidentally, UPY 705 just rolled past the Rochelle Cam on a local 30 seconds ago...

Date: 01/06/22 19:43 Re: UPY GP15's Author: MC6853 Why does UP even bother painting units in SoCal local service? Save some money, just send them out in primer...

Date: 01/09/22 16:30 Re: UPY GP15's Author: bankshotone A set of 2 or 3 used to come by my place every morning with a few cars in tow, later in the day they would return sounding really angry as they had a bunch of loaded cars in tow.
