UP 1989 - Union Pacific's D&RGW Heritage SD70ACe UP 1989 - First Weeks of Joint Line Service

Once unveiled, UP 1989 was taken to Burnham around noon on Sunday, 18-Jun-2006, for some final inspections and tweaking. The next evening, it was placed on the point of MNYPU-19, its very first revenue run. We later learned that Union Pacific intends to make the nightly Denver-Pueblo and Pueblo-Denver manifests its regular assignment. Unfortunately, both of these trains depart around midnight, and usually arrive at the other end before daybreak. In a few instances, however, people have managed to catch the unit on its regular assignment in daylight.
