Western Railroad Discussion > Nose of UP3986 unpatched

UP SD70M 3986, formerly SP 9811 and the second UP patch job, doesn't have a yellow patch on the nose. The big bold white-on-red "SP" is unmolested. It might still make a good photo op if caught head-on (except for those pesky new number boards).

It's been sitting out front of the Roseville shops yesterday and today.

Good to hear, Have u seen anymore C44ACCTE's down in Roseville?

I've seen them occasionally, but not much in the last couple of weeks. The last CTE units I caught were 5708/5745/5746 a week ago Tuesday (5/15), and 5746 again on Saturday in the yard with non-CTE units.

I'm planning on going to Roseville this weekend... Ive never seen the
C44ACCTE's before I really want some photos of those units, Thanks for
the info.

Here is a Ryan Dela photo of the UP 3986 running on the Modoc Line earlier this month.

for goatboat...
didn't know they still ran anything on the Modoc subdivision any more.

Well, it is pretty quiet out there these days, but the line is still used on the north end between Klamath Falls and Alturas. A roadswitcher out of Klamath Falls works local industries on the Modoc in the Klamath Basin as needed, generally Monday through Friday. On Sunday mornings, an Alturas Turn is called off the extra board at Klamath to make a flip to Alturas and interchange with the Lake County Railroad.
