The power for Union Pacific’s locals out of West Anaheim Yard lay over on the weekend – on this particular weekend, a pair of GP60s (1150 and 1162). UP GP60 1162 is on the west end of the power set, and it was built by EMD in April 1990 as Cotton Belt 9689, which became UP 1991 when the Southern Pacific (Cotton Belt’s parent company) was included in the 1996 sale of SP’s parent company Rio Grande Industries to the UP. UP 1996 was later renumbered to UP 1162, complete with a crooked "2". (Anaheim, California – November 15, 2020) Photographed on railroad property with permission and full PPE.
Railroading is a 24 hour a day business, that never sleep. From sunset to sunrise the railroad must run. These image are taken by some of the best rail photographer out their.
