UP SD50 #5030 - Patton OK - April 9, 1994

Back in 1994 a trio of EMD built SD50’s (plus a GE built C40-8) lead a southbound Union Pacific train by Patton, OK. EMD’s 50 series locomotives proved to be problematic and were soon replaced in EMD’s locomotive catalog by the more reliable 60 series. It was a pleasant surprise to see three SD50’s running elephant style on this train. The tracks are ex-MKT (Katy).
