UP 1354 West

UP 1354, an April 1972 graduate of La Grange, IL is leading todays version of the M-TPTP seen here at about MP 24.15 on the UP Kansas Sub.

 

Built as D&RGW 3099 back in the day this GP40-2 likely hauled piggyback trains across the Rocky Mountains on the point of the Railblazer trains between Denver and Salt Lake City. That is a far cry from the mundane duties of being a road switcher hauling covered hoppers of cement, lime and reefer boxcars full of french fries.
