Remarks & Notes |
A roaring pair of big UP powerhouses begins the downhill run to Laramie, exiting Hermosa Tunnel during a snowstorm. Leading is U50 #40, followed by a DD35B. UP 40 was built in 1964, using reconditioned trucks and bolster assemblies from GTELs. Most of the UP U50s lasted only 10 years before being traded back to GE. |
