Interetsing Unit for UPY

I noticed this picture. It is of UPY #2706. The locomotive designation is a 3GS21B. Now, after a little research, I cannot seem to kind a lot of information on this type of unit. I know BNSF has a few too. They remind me of a stretched switcher! :-D Anyone knowmore? http://www.trainweb.org/gensets/n...

Sounds good, that means that they would have gotten "real" expressions from the passengers going to and from their trains.

Looking at the numbers all of the GP15-1's all the way to #1525 are all now in DF. But, also lookin at the roster, #1534 (ex-CR #1616) should be next, since all the ex-CR Geeps between them are all over at NS..... Also, I have trying to do some research, and has anyone seen #1534 recently? I saw she...

I just noticed the ones that they were replacing near the old switch tower where CSX and Amtrak join together. I saw the new signal bridge with its spotlights too, and they were still turned away so I know for sure that they were not yet working. It looks like not just there but all the way down the...

I saw a vid a whileback on CNN, and it hand one of those Locos running the passenger train through a branch of a wildfire out in that region. I remember seeing the markings and paint scheme.
