Scrapped, Part 2
Yesterday I posted a photo of Union Pacific SD70M 4236, which had recently been parted out at Neff Yard in Kansas City. The list of 70Ms scrapped also includes UP 4777, 4047, 4056, and 4647.
A quick search of my photo archive revealed I had captured UP 4056 leading a Global 1, Illinois to City of Industry, California intermodal train in Salt Lake City, Utah on November 5, 2017. The 4056 even had a rare repaint, complete with the big flag logo.
The train included one of Union Pacific's 50 ArroWedge containers, designed to reduce wind drag and conserve fuel. All 50 would be removed from service during Precision Scheduled Railroading, and be stored and stashed away at (you guessed it) Global 1 in Chicago.
