Fresh Rebuilds
Union Pacific’s Malad Local treks slowly into Tremonton, Utah, through the Bear River Valley with 30 cars for Nucor Steel in Plymouth on May 23, 2000. Pulling the train are fresh GP38-2 rebuilds from Boise Locomotive. UP 2576 and 2575 began their careers in January 1966 as Rio Grande GP40s No. 3059 and 3053. UP 2576 holds the destruction as one of only three Rio Grande four axle units to have worn Southern Pacific “speed lettering” (also DRGW 3086 and 3138).
