It looks like a C30, the picture was taken back in March at one of my hotspots. :-D It could be a temporary sign, that second-generation GE's are back... :wink:

I have seen that UP Locomotive around it has HCLX on the Battrie Box.

It looks like the UP 578, can't see the HLCX due to the angle of the photo, but I'll take your word for it on its current owner...

Anyways, quite interesting to see a C30-7 still in UP paint in 2004... :-D after all the other ones have been sold or scrapped... :(

Correction: It's a C36-7 (i can't tell it apart from the C30-7), and the "X" in HLCX panel appears to be of a different color (from a CSX engine). Here's a pic:

And it appears to have various heritages, mostly of Santa Fe, Conrail, and GECX.

Here's the C36-7 page at utahrails.net:

Those C-36Ms were oddities to me. They looked more like our old C-30s because our 9000 class C-36 locomotives had the dynamic brake grids up top behind the cab like on all the newer GE locomotives and these still had them back by the radiators. Also, these leased C-36 locomotives were equipped with Lucas Bryce electronic fuel injection!
