Brute Horsepower
One of my favorite diesel locomotive types is EMD's SD45 series. Pictured at North Yard, UP 11 awaits work in the Salt Lake Diesel Shop on Sept. 16, 1979. The 3600 HP heavy haul locomotive was built UP 3611 by EMD in April 1968. It was equipped with Radio Control System (RCS) technology, used as a remote "slave" locomotive. UP 11 would be retired in July 1984 and sold for scrap to the Erman Corporation in Turner, Kansas. History courtesy UtahRail.net.
