Unusual locomotive @ UP Bailey Yard
Posted by okrailfan56 on Monday, March 17, 2014 7:35 PM
On Sunday, 3/16/14, while watching the UP webcam of Bailey Yard, I observed an unfamiliar locomotive in the service area. The base color was white w/ a light orange and light yellow trim paint and the side I observed had a sunrise pattern arcing over the walkway. I was wondering if anyone knows the manufacturer and the model number.

If so, it was in transit from Motive Power in Boise, Idaho, to SunRail in Orlando, Florida. These are Motive Power MP32PH-Qs.It makes sense that they would go through Bailey.

That is it. I didn't get a good look at the nose, but what I could see looked just like that. Thank you.

Yup! These are now doing trial runs through my area in Pine Castle and Sand Lake, Florida. They are very nice! Service officially starts May 1st.
