You think you had a bad day? The result of a heavy
locomotive and a weak bridge on the UP near Ft. Riley, KS on May 6,

Four GP60M's at Belin, NM on 8/4/07 - submitted by Brian Kreimendahl
Athearn has recently released the EMD GP40X
locomotives in HO scale. The UP history of these locos has seen them in several
different number series and paint variations over time. The six units were
initially received as 9000 - 9005 between December 1977 and March 1978. They
were renumbered the first time to 90 - 95 between May & June 1985. They were
renumbered again to 954 - 959 between January and September 1989. They were
schedule to be renumbered again to 5500 - 5505. Only one unit made it - 958 to
5504 in November 1997. Up inherited one unit from SP (7231) - but that's another
story. Below are some pictures along the way.

The first UP "GREEN (Yellow?) GOAT" waits for
departure after it's test in Roseville.
Union Pacific's paint scheme hasn't changed much since 1940. The most recent
being the lightning stripe scheme "borrowed" from the C&NW. The next change will
be the lower frame sill stripe that will be changed from red to a yellow
reflective stripe to comply with the Fed regulations. UP has until May 31st 2015
to outfit the fleet. This is what it will be like.
Update on the Yellow Stripe from UP on
4/26/05
Well, as you know we didn't do it because
we wanted a change. We did in fact consider a lot of alternatives to try to
maintain a red stripe, but the sill is only wide enough for the required FRA
stripe. There's no room for a stripe above the yellow and there were no other
designs with wider/added red stripes that improved our basic paint scheme There
are a lot of sad faces around here about having to change our paint scheme since
we're one of the only railroads to have been consistent for so many years.
So now you know the details.
Thank you,
