TRAINS / UNION PACIFIC / BURLINGTON NORTHERN
An amazing photo taken back in 1978 of a huge Union Pacific DD40X diesel leading a freight train through Pleasant Valley, Oregon with a Burlington Northern F-45 following. The third unit appears to be a Union Pacific SD40, but I do not know for sure. Altogether, we have 13,000 hp of diesel power in front of this train, with the DD40X supplying half of it, with it's 6,600 HP rating.
