Ron Moraca	General	Great photo of West UP Yard in El Paso, Ernie! I like the GP15-1 because of its versatility. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours, fellow railfan!	12/23/2008 11:59:22 PM

Dave Brotheridge	General	Sorry to say,but I believe this to be a photo of a GP50!! If you check the UPY site 683, ex UP 1683, is pictured less than a month before this picture, in Houston. If you look at the rear grills and the state of it I doubt if it could and been transformed and deteriorated so much in less than a month!!! However, it's atill a superb picture. I found the anomoly when researching pictures of the Atlas GP15 model to use for authentic condition and weathering.	10/9/2011 4:15:31 AM

Dave Brotheridge	General	Actually, as the the UPY GP15 was pictured before this photo, it could not have been transformed as it proves the 2 loco's co-existed!!! Sorry for the confusion, however I still believe this photo to be of a GP50, check out the sad pre scrapping photo's of UP GP50 1683.	10/9/2011 4:24:17 AM
