nice historic footage I got caught by 6936 a few years ago on a buisness car train ...man i wish people could still go to all these locations now UP has them all fenced off to the public I hve been over Sherman hill and this mainline one time last year on an Amtrak detour

depo is the answer but they spell it like depot

really??? that's great!
It is the locomotive which cannot come out in Japan
Because the ground is weak, and the Japanese freight train declines

Actually, they have dual V16 engines. The same engine that EMD put in the SD 40, which is why it has the designation DDA40X.

Spawn and Crazy...you guys are great!! You know years ago I knew I would regret not following this train all the way to North Platte. I had motored all the way from Chicago just to visit Cheyenne and Sherman Hill. I knew it...I knew it...I knew it.

@msibnsf you shot that Acela video from the early 2000's right?
I mean I'm sure that many other people have done the same so if I'm wrong I apologize but you're voice is unmistakable.

@Amtrak1194 Yes, I shot both videos.

Dear SpawnofChaos...I beg to differ...listen closely. The comment over the radio is as quoted.

Thanks soohoojrj for a follow-up. I'm on both sides of the fence...a UP fan and modeller and a member of IRM. I imagine electric traction and Chicago area history are most important in deciding which museum pieces get inside storage and get preserved. Unfortunately, the DDA40X doesn't meet either of those qualifications...in fact Union Pacific has only been in Chicago less than 30 years. Although an operational DDA40X never made it to the Windy, a DD35 did...but thats another story, LOL.

I don't think the locomotive at IRM came directly from the UP...so don't blame them, If I recall it was outside in the Kansas City area being restored by a local group who did not have the means to finish the job. The locomotive then went to IRM. IRM is entirely voluntary....including workers and funding and there is just so much their meager funds can do. IRM will consider donations for specific projects....one way DDA40X fans can participate.
