Remarks & Notes

Electro-Motive Division SD90MAC-H locomotives, along with EMD’s test car, head through Rocky, Colorado, for some testing at Plainview on February 2, 1998. Leading the way on the west end is EMD No. 8504, decked out in a special scheme for EMD’s 75th anniversary that was later affectionately called by some as “Shamu.” The other three SD90MAC-Hs that are fully painted for Union Pacific are Nos. 8505, 8502 and 8503 (west to east). After some stationary testing at Plainview and East Portal, the four will be further tested on tonnage between Denver and the Moffat Tunnel.
