UP 6085 AT LAUPT 50th         
First time a railfan sees a new locomotive model is always fun... this photograph was my first of two types, my first SD60M and my first Dash 8-40B. It was taken at LAUPT's 50th Anniversary while everyone was looking at the covered wagons and steam engines. These two units were futher down the platform -- a brand new SD60M (UP 6085 - EMD 1/89) and a brand new Dash 8-40B (ATSF 7437 - GE 4/89). I believe that 6085 was the first production SD60M ever.

Ryan Hahn General With UP 6085 being the 1st SD60M produced and that it was on display in LAUPT during the station’s 50th Anniversary this engine should be donated to The Southern California Railroad Museum in Perris, CA I think it would go great with the UP 942 3/12/2021 4:17:01 AM
