    It might not be staying DRGW, but it will remain in Service in Utah on the Utah Southern.

    UP 2934/ Ex/ DRGW 5411 was purchased at the UP Auction in Dennver CO.

    Unit is expected to begin service ASAP.

    USR's Scheme and T-2 News

    Well, most of the auction went to scrappers sadly. All units went for less than 60K
    While a pair of UP SW1500's went for almost 150K?

    Anyway, Utah Southern's scheme isn't much better than seeing her in UP, but its a lot better than nothing.

    It might not appear to be much better than UP, but it is really old school UP... Thats the scheme they used on the M-1000 back in the 30's.

    Classy--but it pains me to see Armour Yellow on a tunnel motor.
