UP's SD70M's spelled the end for the fuel-guzzling older SP mainline units. The last SD45R has been retired. The SD45T-2 which was thought to be extinct (in SP paint) has made an encore afterlife appearance in the form of speed lettered 9311 - definitely a unit to trace and track across the system. A good source has emailed me stating that the final SD40R's are living their last days. Most of these 16 units are still covered by EMD's original SP era "Power by the Mile" lease warranty. This lease ends in July so GET YOUR SHOTS OF THE LAST 40R's on the road. Since the order by UP to retire all non-Dash-2 GP40's ASAR (as soon as reasonable) DRGW 3092 has been put to rest but SP speed lettered SP 3086 is working out of Los Angeles at posting time. Many of the 77XX-78XX series "B-boats" are being retired. SW1500's are rare in either SP paint, UP paint or patch form. Lone B39-8 SP 8013 still survives along with lone SP 8192. The last ESPEE-unique GP40P-2 7600 (ex-bicentennial 3197) is still to close to Little Rock for comfort at posting time. Yet the AC4400's and the MK SD40M-2's still roam with the majority still in untouched speed lettering. Most of the AC's are busy year-round on coal service and the 40M's are mostly based out of West Colton, CA. A few railfan trips to Colton have proved that the SP image still holds down in SoCal.

The "(SPXXXX)" around a unit in the table below indicates a former SSW/DRGW painted units repainted into the SP speed lettering scheme.

The "?" indicates a unit inactive for at least 2 weeks before 03/31/02. This could be for a number or reasons including a unit leased or with track rights on another railroad off the UP road, a unit sold to another railroad, a unit held for maintenance, repair work, paint shop, etc. at a engine facility, a unit taken out of active service for wreck repairs, uncorrectable maintenance problems, or units stored on the dead track being used for parts or headed for the scrap yard (my least favorite units). I have put this "roster" together to the best of my ability. It is actually easier to follow units with the SP fleet cut down to around 700. These figures are not perfect with all the units roaming and UP seems to patch, repaint or retire a unit at least everyday. It is interesting to note the new appearance of former SP units that make it into UP paint. The wide cabs are getting Flags and wings like ex-SP9800 (SD70M) UP 3974 or ex-SP234 (AC4400) UP 6280 . Standard cab units worth keeping like the GP38-2's are getting baby wings and probably will get flags as well.

Thanks to UtahRails for their UP roster updates and extensive coverage of painting, patching and retiring over the last year.

I hope this helps both ESPEE modelers and railbuffs. Please send corrections and/or other patch / repaint / retirement news to my e-mail address below.

The "(SPXXXX)" around a unit in the table below indicates a former SSW/DRGW painted units repainted into the SP speed lettering scheme.

The "?" indicates a unit inactive for at least 4 weeks before 06/01/02. This could be for a number or reasons including a unit leased or with track rights on another railroad off the UP road, a unit sold to another railroad, a unit held for maintenance, repair work, paint shop, etc. at a engine facility, a unit taken out of active service for wreck repairs, uncorrectable maintenance problems, or units stored on the dead track being used for parts or headed for the scrap yard (my least favorite units). I have put this "roster" together to the best of my ability. The total number of ESPEE units to follow is now offically under 600. These figures are very accurate but not guaranteed to be perfect. I would appreciate help in the form of corrections and UP renumbering updates sent ot my e-mail address at [email protected].

Well, since our last update we have lost that big thing that has helped this current day SP Locomotive Roster and that is the loss the UPRR Public Equipment Trace (PET) website. But thanks to my connections I can still post an un-interactive roster list of what SP, SSW and DRGW units are left. Here are some of the notable events over the last 3months (since 12.31.02).

- As part of an unusual UP move, a retired SD40T-2 was REINSTATED! (back in service) - SP8566 - reinstated 02.25.03!

- The last speed lettered MP15AC was renumbered - SP2733 - renumbered 02.22.03

- One of the last three MP15DC's was renumbered - SP2701 - renumbered 02.28.03

- The last active SD40R in service, SP7328, continues to work as the assigned power to the WOGOGB and MOGRO out of Ogden, UT.

- The last DRGW GP40-2 ordered from EMD (March 1983) was repainted(?) - DRGW3130 - renumbered 03.05.03

- One of the last of the DRGW SD40T-2's was renumbered - DRGW5356 - renumbered 01.10.03

- Four of the last DRGW SD40T-2's are in active service working together as the dirt train out of Helper, UT including 5349, 5354, 5371 and 5390. Fate of the DRGW5401 is unknown...

 

All of those unique Espee survivors are still out there pushing on in active service including...

- The last SP B39-8E - SP8013

- The last SP C44-9W - SP8192

- The last SP B39-8E - SP7328 (as mentioned above)

- The last DRGW GP40 - SP3086

- The last blue ex-Helm GP38-2 - SP4864

- Ten of the last SP SW1500 "cruds"

- Two of the last DRGW SD50's

- Four of the last wide cab SP SD70M's

- and one of the last Roseville '99 "SP" repaint SD40T-2's - SP8261 (the last units to be painted into Scarlet/Gray)

Thanks to UtahRails for their UP roster updates and extensive coverage of painting, patching and retiring over the last year.

I hope this helps both ESPEE modelers and railbuffs. Please send corrections and/or other patch / repaint / retirement news to my e-mail address below.

Surprisingly, not much has changed since 2 months ago. A low total of 22 units were patched/repainted/retired which is not bad in comparison to UP's renumbering pace just last year. Lone B39-8 SP 8013 still survives but lone SP 8192 is somewhere on the CSX out east repaying owed UP miles. The last GP40P-2 7600 (ex-bicentennial 3197) has reached the end with the EMD lease expiring in July and is sitting in Little Rock, AR with thre rest of the "Power by the Mile" units. These include most of the SD40R's and many of the last snoot nose SD40T-2's. The last true SP SD45T-2 in the form of speed lettered 9311 looks like it has come to the end or it's 3 decade plus life in resting in Little Rock as well. AC4400's remain mostly unpatched/painted thanks to the slow renumbering of the SD60/SD60M's which take up their new UP renumber slot. SD40M-2's seem so busy out of W. Colton that UP can't afford to hold them in the shop and patch them. Two more SP SD70M's bit the dust in the month of May but have emerged as quite strikingly beautiful flag units. This update came a little early and I also have a "beta" version of the "ESPEE Patch Trace Site" in the works featuring all UP patch/repaint locos. There are many former ESPEE locos out there and figuring out the whole UP renumbering system has taken a lot of research but LOOK FOR THIS TRACE SITE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

The "(SPXXXX)" around a unit in the table below indicates a former SSW/DRGW painted units repainted into the SP speed lettering scheme.

The "?" indicates a unit inactive for at least 4 weeks before 06/01/02. This could be for a number or reasons including a unit leased or with track rights on another railroad off the UP road, a unit sold to another railroad, a unit held for maintenance, repair work, paint shop, etc. at a engine facility, a unit taken out of active service for wreck repairs, uncorrectable maintenance problems, or units stored on the dead track being used for parts or headed for the scrap yard (my least favorite units). I have put this "roster" together to the best of my ability. The total number of ESPEE units to follow is now offically under 700. These figures are not perfect and I would appreciate help incorrections and UP renumbering updates.

Thanks to UtahRails for their UP roster updates and extensive coverage of painting, patching and retiring over the last year.

I hope this helps both ESPEE modelers and railbuffs. Please send corrections and/or other patch / repaint / retirement news to my e-mail address below.

Well, it's only been a year since my last roster update but how things change! Uncle Pete has pushed full steam ahead with many patched and a few repaint jobs. In fact, UP seemed to get ahead of itself on a few occasions in literally patching and then retiring a unit within that same week.

UP's SD70M's spelled the end for the fuel-guzzling older SP mainline units. The 45T-2's (both original and GRIP units) are all gone with the few rebuilt UP units left but most are scrapped and/or retired (a freak UP decision gave SP6819 to the Calif. State RR Museum). The last 45R barely made it into 2002 but it was pulled out of service just past the new year. All non-Dash-2 GP40's have been ordered out of service ASAR (as soon as reasonable) meaning you DRGW fans should get 3092 and SP3086 on film. It is interesting to note that most of the 77XX-78XX series "B-boats" that have disappeared on this new 2001 update roster are now patch units and many of the 4 axle units like GP38-2s and GP40-2s will also be living long lives as patch units. SW1500's are rare in either SP paint, UP paint or patch form. Lone B39-8 SP8013 still survives along with lone SP8192. The last ESPEE-unique GP40P-2 7600 (ex-bicentennial 3197) has been pulled off of the West Coast and at posting time is sitting too close for comfort at the almighty paintshop at UP's big shops in Little Rock, AR. Yet the AC4400's and the MK SD40M-2's still roam with the majority still in untouched speed lettering. Most of the AC's are busy year-round on coal service and the 40M's are mostly based out of West Colton, CA. A few railfan trips to Colton have proved that the SP image still holds down in SoCal.

Again, the "(SPXXXX)" around a unit in the table below indicates a former SSW/DRGW painted units repainted into the SP speed lettering scheme.

The "?" indicates a unit inactive for at least 2 weeks before 12/31/01. This could be for a number or reasons including a unit leased or with track rights on another railroad off the UP road, a unit sold to another railroad, a unit held for maintenance, repair work, paint shop, etc. at a engine facility, a unit taken out of active service for wreck repairs, uncorrectable maintenance problems, or units stored on the dead track being used for parts or headed for the scrap yard (my least favorite units). I have put this "roster" together to the best of my ability. It is actually easier to follow units with the SP fleet cut down to under 800. These figures are not perfect with all the units roaming and UP patches and repaints or retires a unit at least everyday.

Thanks to UtahRails for their UP roster updates and extensive coverage of painting, patching and retiring over the last year.

I hope this helps both ESPEE modelers and railbuffs. Please send corrections and/or other patch / repaint / retirement news to my e-mail address below.

The "(SPXXXX)" around a unit in the table below indicates a former SSW/DRGW painted units repainted into the SP speed lettering scheme.

The "?" indicates a unit inactive for at least 4 weeks before 06/01/02. This could be for a number or reasons including a unit leased or with track rights on another railroad off the UP road, a unit sold to another railroad, a unit held for maintenance, repair work, paint shop, etc. at a engine facility, a unit taken out of active service for wreck repairs, uncorrectable maintenance problems, or units stored on the dead track being used for parts or headed for the scrap yard (my least favorite units). I have put this "roster" together to the best of my ability. The total number of ESPEE units to follow is now offically under 600. These figures are very accurate but not guaranteed to be perfect. I would appreciate help in the form of corrections and UP renumbering updates sent ot my e-mail address at [email protected].

Well, since our last update we have lost that big thing that has helped this current day SP Locomotive Roster and that is the loss the UPRR Public Equipment Trace (PET) website. But thanks to my connections I can still post an un-interactive roster list of what SP, SSW and DRGW units are left. Here are some of the notable events over the last 7 months (scine 06.01.02).

- The last SP SD45T-2 was retired - SP9311 - 07.15.02

- The last SP GP40P-2's lease expired - SP7600 - 07.10.02

- The second to last blue ex-Helm GP38-2 - SP4873 - renumbered 10.08.02

- Fourteen of the last SP SD40R's were retired leaving only one in active service - SP7328

- Thirty-one of the last SP/DRGW SD40T-2's were retired leaving only 15 in active service

 

But there are still some survivors out there pushing on in active service into the year 2003 including...

- The last SP B39-8E - SP8013

- The last SP C44-9W - SP8192

- The last SP B39-8E - SP7328 (as mentioned above)

- The last DRGW GP40 - SP3086

- The last blue ex-Helm GP38-2 - SP4864

- Ten of the last SP SW1500 "cruds"

- Two of the last DRGW SD50's

- Four of the last wide cab SP SD70M's

- and one of the last Roseville '99 "SP" repaint SD40T-2's - SP8261 (the last units to be painted into Scarlet/Gray)
