Classics at Fairfax

A lone Union Pacific GP38N sits under the tungsten glow of the nearby yard lights at UP's Fairfax Yard on a quiet spring night. An old stainless steel piggyback trailer with the UP shield and wings hand painted on the bow sits on the ballast now being used as a storage container, but still serves as a reminder of the Golden Age of railroading from decades long past. Coincidentally enough, UP 813 was originally built for the Missouri Pacific as MP 2313 in February 1981, meaning this former GP38-2 is also on home territory.
