This group of cars was built 12/67 for UP and leased to Rock Island. After the 4/1/80 shutdown of the Rock, the cars were returned to UP, rebuilt and repainted. UP 24587 was retired 7/18/90 and sold to Pacific Rail Dismantlers. Date of photo approximate. |

| Title: |
UP 3720 |
| Description: |
A loaded UP coal train descends the north track from Summit with the Victorville helpers on the rear for extra dynamic braking, as an SP train on the Palmdale cutoff drops down the same grade in the background. Interestingly, by timetable direction, the SP train is eastbound, the UP is westbound! UP 3720 was later Trona 2008. Date of photo approximate. |
