UP 1058 - GP60
Effective March 2005, an FRA rule requires reflective white or yellow striping on all freight cars and locomotives. Prior to that date, a red reflective stripe across the frame was standard on UP locomotives. 20 years later, nearly every unit has been retrofitted or repainted. But not UP 1058, which still wears its early 2000's paint and sill stripe after being repainted from SP 9762.
Here, UP 1058 waits just south of the interlocking at Tower 32/BNSF Crossing in Beaumont, TX. This is on UP's Sabine Industrial Lead, the former SP branch to Port Arthur.
