Title:
SP "Tunnel Motors!!!!"
Description:
This Union Pacific train heads south, to connect west, at Joliet, Illinois in May 1998. Both locomotives are still in Southern Pacific colors. Lead locomotive #5368 is former Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad SD40T-2 and is sublettered “DRGW.” Second is SP SD45T-2 #9385. These models are nicknamed “Tunnel Motors” and were used originally by only SP and DRGW. They have large radiators allowing for cooling while passing through tunnels, which these railroads had. They were built new by Electo-Motive Division of General Motors in the 1970s. Rio Grande bought Southern Pacific Railroad in 1988 and kept it operating as SP. Union Pacific merged with Southern Pacific on September 11, 1996. After the acquisition UP became North America’s largest railroad totaling 32,200 miles in 23 states. Date approx.

Title:
Northbound UP Manifest With SP 5368
Description:
Here we see the train backing in making a set out before going out as a light engine movement heading north for St. Louis, the SP unit was a "camo" ex-D&RGW (Rio Grande) locomotive, hence the submarks below the road number. The SD70M was one month old at the time.
