Union Pacific SD60 Leads a Train! [4K]
Показать описание
July 11, 2018: On a beautiful summer morning, Charleston, SC - Port Newark, NJ baretable train 24Q is led by an increasingly rare, Union Pacific SD60 2188 with UP SD70M 4904 trailing. This once a week train of empty wells satisfies the demand of incoming containers at the Port Newark - Elizabeth Marine Terminal, seen here passing through Fleetwood, PA on the Norfolk Southern Reading Line. The train eases eastbound through a 25 MPH speed restriction about a mile to the west. Some nice blue wildflowers accompany scene. I'd be curious to know where the style of numberboard on 2188 came from?

SD60's were common power on road trains up until around 2009-2010, when much of the fleet was sold to leasing companies, while the remainder went into storage. Same for the SD60M's. Several UP SD60's and SD60M's have been put back into service with a power shortage due to an increase in traffic. Most of these locomotives end up in local service, or on Norfolk Southern to repay horsepower hours, much like back in 2010 and 11 when NS also had a bunch of UP SD60M's (and leased UP C40-8's) roaming the rails to fill trains ahead of the ES44AC/SD70ACe orders. There was also the occasional ex-UP SD60, typically HLCX, leading freights. Jump to today, especially with in the days of PTC installation and trip optimizer, seeing a leased or original UP SD60 leading a train on foreign rails is almost unheard of since most wind up in the trailing position. So with all of that said, this will be one of my prized catches for the year, even more so than the UP 1943 on the Union Pacific business train, which is just an over-rated spectacle in my opinion.
Thanks for watching!
