Sitting somewhere on Union Pacific's Colorado lines, GP9 287 takes a rest near the end of 1970. 287 was built by EMD in 1954 and was one of over 200 GP9s owned by the UP. The popular model lived up to the slogan adorning the cabside. 287 would make it to 1980, when it was retired. It was sold for scrap in 1981.
