Fresh Blue Hour ACM Rebuild
After dinner tonight, I ran back by the UP to see if I could grab a shot of the MHNTP, and boy, did I!
I was interested in it, as I had previously seen it with this FRESH GE C44ACM rebuild on the point, and after receiving permission into the Topeka yard, they stopped at CPZ 068 to work out their route into the yard. This relatively brief pause allowed me this great blue hour view of an engine that will likely never be this clean again.
The 6340 was built in 1995 as the SP 305, and received its first coat of Armour Yellow in the 2016/17 neighborhood. As per the Diesel Shop ( www.thedieselshop.us/UP.HTML ), the "C44ACM modernization program includes updates to the control system software equivalent to current generation of Evolution Series software, and installation of new auxiliary and blower cabs. Additional shutters are added on the radiators and the FDL prime mover is rebuilt. Rebuilt by GE/Wabtec at both Erie, PA and Ft. Worth, TX. Units retain existing numbers after going through modernization program."
