This week's update covers photos of various locomotives seen in Roseville this year. Of note is the return of a former Southern Pacific SD40R #7314 (now GECX) being leased back to UP. Also included is UP 5696, one of 5 new new low emissions demonstrator nicknamed the GEVO series. It runs a 12 cylinder diesel prime mover instead of the traditional 16 while still cranking out a similar 4400 horsepower. Finally there's UP 1346, a former Rio Grande unit that has received some new shoes and a plow...that don't match. Despite all the Union Pacific gray and yellow on this old unit, I'm just glad it's still around. Enjoy this week's update...
