Joseph Belote General I shot SP 5111 and fifteen other units, most of which were SP and UP B23-7s and B30-7s, at UP's Pierce Yard, Houston, TX on 17 August 2005. As I expected would be the case, it appears most of the GE's in that group are destined for scrapping. 1/25/2006 11:41:01 PM
Eric Burris General funny BNSF sure keeps theirs still running, but UP wants to trash everything that isn't BIG and NEW. 1/26/2006 12:49:51 AM
