UP#6901 in Lower Ross Park, adjacent to the former departure yard in Pocatello. While attending ISU in the mid 90s, I spruced up the cab and scrounged up some old gauges and a couple of ammeters to make the control stand a little more presentable.

Ron Moraca General WILD AND SCENIC PHOTO, RYAN!!!!!! AWESOME PIC OF ONE OF THE LAST OF UP'S DINOSAURS IN EXISTENCE. 4/25/2011 8:58:38 PM
Rickey Humbert General does 6901 still have her original prime mover? 2/2/2012 8:45:57 PM
Ryan Swanson General The crankcases and main alternators are still in place. However, most of the power assemblies and both air compressors were removed at the Pocatello Diesel Shop prior to it being placed in Ross Park. 2/2/2012 8:51:24 PM
Elliot Capson General Can confirm, all power assemblies are gone, except for two are missing. The two air compressors are still in place, as well as everything else. The horn and bell were stolen however. 10/1/2020 9:29:25 PM
Elliot Capson General Two power assemblies remain. 10/1/2020 9:29:54 PM
Gabriel Capson General Can confirm there is no horn or bell. The interior is in pretty decent shape. The person above me is restoring this locomotive, but not to proper working order. Just making it look good, like painting it and getting the UNION PACIFIC stickers. 10/25/2020 5:03:59 PM

Elliot Capson General Can confirm, about 6 power assemblies remain. The only things missing are the horn, bell, amber beacon, and the front cab control modules. About 26 power assemblies are gone, but each engine has a couple. There is no oil, and the sand tanks are full. Not sure about fuel or batteries, but i think there is probably some fuel oil, and I'm sure the batteries are there. I'm restoring this loco, and may try to get it running with just those few power assemblies. 11/16/2020 2:02:10 PM
Elliot Capson General Overall, the inside is pretty decent. The engines are marvelously clean, the equipment racks look new, the clean air rooms are pretty dusty, but that makes sense since it's pretty much exposed. The back doors don't even budge, but I'm going to fix that. The cab and nose look great, except for the underside which is filled with garbage and dead wasp nests. The cab only has some minor cosmetic damage due to the door and window being left open. 11/16/2020 2:05:37 PM
Elliot Capson General The engine room has several wasp nests (as well as the cab) but I sprayed all of them. Not sure I want to look up in the radiator chamber through the little access door. 11/16/2020 2:07:01 PM
