I apparently missed this photo a long time back. UP stands for Union Pacific www.uprr.com. The UP bought them and IF they are still in service somewhere across the vast UP system, they could still be in service. But at the moment, I can't be 100% sure.

Although looking like a desert shot, this was taken in the West Springfield MA yard. A line up of former Guilford Transportation engines, I have no idea what the "UP" is for.[/quote]
Just adjacent to the location of last weekend Eustis FL Fire Muster were the track of the Inland Lakes Rwy. They operate run a tourist train out of Eustis. This GP-9 was sitting at the station. It is a 1954 unit originally built for the Union Pacific.
John, the mainline in Utica is AMAZING!!!!!!! Did I mention that the fun doubles if you go to Fairport? I cant wait to get back up there this summer when we visit my grandparents.
Yep just HO & HOn3. In HO its Santa Fe and anything from Central ILL which includes: Wabash, ILL Terminal, N&W, NS and some ICG. In HOn3 is D&RGW.

A better shot from a closed 1 lane bridge prior to the train. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> You can see Amtrack's auto train station on the upper left.
Found this locomotive and caboose on display in Mulberry FL while on the Florida Winter Thaw - 2008 trip last week. I couldn't find any ID or builders plates on the loco, but believe that it probably worked in one of the phospate mining plants in the area. FLJackphoto.
