Yes UP Heritage E-9s even worked freight, clearing out exhaust!
Author: slacks

A few yrs ago at Beverly Ia two UP E-38s worked a drag transfer to the old RI yd in Cedar Rapids. The engineer crackes out the throttle as they get started to take the old CNW psgr line to town. They made it, but stalled with 5000 tons on the way back, much to the happiness of a few railfans!
