OR "Another one!," as he'd famously say.
As I was poking around Topeka in the morning, I heard the UP 6030 on the radio, looked it up on this here site, and found that it had JUST been released from the GE factory in Ft. Worth. Interestingly, this was released with the same group of CPKC units that I had JUST photographed in Franklin Park, IL a few days earlier ( flic.kr/p/2rc42DX )!
It was just wild to me that I was able to track these units down hundreds of miles from each other, working for two different railroads within weeks of their release from the factory.
Regardless, this was UP's MNPHN (North Platte-Herington), and with it's new crew on board, it's under way, as it pulls down the "New South" in the yard towards the Kansas River Bridge, and the ex-RI Golden State Route.
