| Title: |
UP GP38-2 1818 |
| Description: |
UP GP38-2 1818 at Cotter, Arkansas on September 30, 1989, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in February 1972 (c/n 7344-41), this locomotive was owned by Helm Financial and leased to the Missouri Pacific as road number 898, renumbered to MP 2049 in 1974. On June 12, 1986, this unit was repainted to UP 2375. Upon expiration of the 15 year lease, this unit and 64 other leased GP38-2's (only MP 2031 stayed behind) were returned to Helm, 44 unit in July, 1987 and 20 unit in January 1988. Some were leased out to other railroads (this unit became HL 2375, still in UP paint), and some went to the GTW and were rebuilt. In February 1989, 29 units returned to the UP, and on July 14, 1989, this unit became UP 1818, leased from Helm. It became UP 318 on November 20, 2003. You may wonder how I got that headlight beam effect. This was about a 20 minute exposure, and the White River is off to the right about 1/4 mile or so. A mist or fog passed through during exposure, I thought it was nice. |
