Out to Pasture
UPY 139, a former B23-7, sits in the Ley Road team track at the north end of UP's Settegast Yard. The Control Car Remote Control Locomotives (CCRCL)'s like this one were built to be MU'd to non-RC equipped locomotives to allow for them to be radio controlled. But as more and more yard units have been equipped with RC equipment, the CCRCL's have seen less frequent use. This one is likely here to be scrapped.
