Great composition, sharpness, and color balance in this image, for sure. Harold

RJSorensen THREAD STARTER Goldmember 1,706 posts Joined Sep 2004 Location: Near Tin Cup, Wyoming, USA More info | Jan 17, 2006 08:38 | #10 UP 5471 is Union Pacific engine number 5471. The letters are prefixes for the railroad name. We have about 6 class one railroads left in north America. I think they are NS for Norfolk Southern, BNSF for Burlington Northern Santa Fe, CSX for CSX Transportation, CP for Canadian Pacific and CN for Canadian ... lol forgot if it is National or just what, but you can see the use of the slang from these examples.

The UP has about seven thousand engines . . . all with numbers below 10K. With the prior use of the #'s on the Steam fleet and all of the now scraped phase one diesel engines, sometimes a single number can refer to several different types and styles of motive power. PLUS they re-number them from time to time just to keep the folks like me on our toes . . . Thanks for the kind words everyone. ok, so the number 5457 written on the engine in your pic has nothing to do with this UP-Number?

If you look at the number boards you will see this number on this engine. There is a number board on each side of the top headlight. "With Some Practice . . .

rckaine Senior Member 328 posts Joined Jul 2005 Location: Northville, Mi. USA More info | The number on the locomotive is like a license plate on your car. It is how they keep track of individual units with in a class (make and model) of engines. So the Union Pacific 5471 is made by General Electric, and is a ES44AC (on the UP they classify them as C45ACCTE) model. on another confusing note the ES44DC's are also known as "Gevo" units or "Evolution Series" unit. Hope that helps clarifing some train talk.
