What do these three units have in common? Well, aside from the obvious that is! Of course they are all geeps and they are all on the active UP roster. But can you figure out something a little less obvious that they have in common? You can post your guess by clicking here and leaving a comment. I'll post the answer in a few days if nobody gets it correct!

Kevin, I just discovered this photo, and I like it a lot.

oops!!!  
 
did not read all the footnotes of the UP roster. UP 712 from MP seemed to have replaced 712 from CNW/CR/NYC.

Very nice shot. Thank you very much for sharing all those shots from Colorado. Great website.  
 
All 3 engines are all UP predecessors. UP 712 is a CNW GP40. Bad repaint job too. They should have left it alone...

They are all former D&RGW GP40-2's?

I would have to say the DRGW unit is sweet! But... I would say they all have running lights (ditch lights), but also they are all GP40-2's!

Nice job Matt! You are exactly correct - in both instances, I suppose. While all three units have plows, it was the heritage of the units I was going for. UP 1509 was SP 7131 (nee-BO 3712). UP 1352 was, of course, DRGW 3097. Lastly, UP 712 was originally MP 2212.

Well, for starters, all three have snow plows, though I'm guessing that's not where your getting at. I would say they are all patched or repainted from other railroads that UP has taken over.
