Ready to Rock by James Belmont Via Flickr: A group of Union Pacific diesel locomotives line the service tracks in Provo, Utah on Sept. 8, 1991. While most of them today have been retired from the roster, and possibly scrapped, today a visitor could easily encounter a pair of SD40Ns parked on the ready track. EMDs are immortal.

Working at Notch 8, Union Pacific ES44AC No. 5383 along with SD40N No. 1718 (Formerly SD40-2 No. 3521), an SD70M, and an SD70ACE-T4 lead a heavy northbound manifest consisting mostly of loaded coal hoppers. Although not in this picture, an SD70ACE is acting as a mid-train DPU.

Laramie, Wyoming
After climbing over the Black Hills, now known as the Laramie Mountains, the Union Pacific rolls down into what is now Laramie. This university town is named for a French trapper, Jaques LaRamie and founded when the rail line was built through this area in 1968.
In the above image, a Union Pacific SD40N is sitting in the yard with downtown Laramie visible just beyond. The locomotive was built for the Union Pacific as an SD40-2 in 1980.

This second image was made in the Wyoming Territorial Penitentiary, a complex that was operated as a federal prison in the late part of the 19th century. It is now a wonderful museum and should not be missed if one finds one’s self in the area.
