Stored Locomotive Sites
Author: steveandrews

Hi,

Does anyone know where the Class 1 Railroads are storing power?
Are the locos visible from public property?


TIA, Steve

Two years ago BNSF had miles of power stored in Gillette WY.

NS...Altoona, Roanoke, Chattanooga.

The lines of them have been thinned out some due to sell offs.

UP has several locations of storage lines...

Pretty much any yard or terminal track they can stuff a few into.

As of a few weeks ago, there were tons of UP units in Kansas City, MO (Neff Yard) and a bunch a bit west of Kansas City in Topeka, KS. Earlier this year, there were also some in storage on a siding north of Pine Bluff, AR (don't remember exactly where).

BNSF recently had a bunch at Murray Yard in North Kansas City, MO, and also a bunch in Galveston, TX earlier this year. Probably a bunch of stored units at Topeka Shops, but I can't confirm that at the moment.

There are even some big PRLX lease units (former BNSF, including a few warbonnets, if I recall correctly) in storage in Fort Smith, AR in what I believe to be Arkansas & Missouri's yard.

At Tracy, many of the UP locomotives have received new decorative paint jobs, courtesy of local artists...
