I shot SP 5111 and fifteen other units, most of which were SP and UP B23-7s and B30-7s, at UP's Pierce Yard, Houston, TX on 17 August 2005. As I expected would be the case, it appears most of the GE's in that group are destined for scrapping.

funny BNSF sure keeps theirs still running, but UP wants to trash everything that isn't BIG and NEW.
