First time I have missed the Aksarben Special in years... That transfer power has been interesting lately. Looks like you caught a simmilar setup to what I saw last week, a couple Cyclops SD60ms and a standard cab SD60 with really faded paint.

Thanks for the comment. They been running alot of UP transfer jobs recently. On one transfer I saw a UP SD40-2.

 

[brad_in_omaha]

Really? What was the number? That would be cool to see.

 

[Trainfanne54]

Actually I saw two of them. UP#2168, and UP#3447.

2168 is an SD60, which seem to be around here fairly often. At least a lot more often than the SD40-2. I still haven't seen any of "new" 1550s-1700s SD40Ns

 

[Trainfanne54]

You are correct on the UP#2168 being a SD60. I don't think I've seen the SD40Ns either.
