I went to the West Colton Yard today and saw UP #1983 on the refueling tracks:





In addition to 1983, I also saw this:

And this:

Old ESPEE trailer:


I also saw a GATX SW1500? at the GATX Facility but no picture.

If it was green it's their genset.

TCS - boilermakers union hall is right down the street too.

Was there another warbonnet GE with the 697? The 697 was in Mojave on Sunday with Dash 8 40CW #867. 697 must have gotten on the Colton Hauler last night.

Nice shots.

Then what I saw was their genset cause it was green and thanks for the correction on the ESPEE trailer.

I'm afraid I have no idea where 1983 is going next or when it leaves Colton.

There was another warbonnet coupled to it, but I don't remember if it was 867 or not.

Are those ex-Warbonnets being leased? or were they purchased?

I'm sure they're leased.

"ex-Warbonnets" ? Seems to me they're still in red & silver.
