Tom Date: 09/12/20 13:03 Re: My Coal Line Days From the EMD Era Author: ble692 Really like all the clean CNW SD60s. Fast forward to today and the only unit in any of the pictures still left on the UP is the oldest one of the bunch, MP SD40-2 6029. It survives as UP SD40N 1643.

Weren't these the units that undid it for EMD and CNW? They looked great while they were there.
