Sorry guys, Only 2 Big Blows are preserved! When A.J. Wolff in his book about UP´s turbines - Whiters Publishing - 2001 - is right, and I think so! The #18 (sorry, wrote 16 before) in Union, Ill. and the #26 in Ogden, Utah. That´s all !!! In Don Stracks roster also the 14 an the 16 were donated for Union but there is only one or I need new glasses! And the 8 axle B+B-B+B´s are all scapped - 100 % sure, UP scrapped all car bodies at Omaha and Cheyenne. Trucks and bolsters are used under U25B,U50 and under the ALCO C855´s ! Details: Standard´s: (#51 - 60) The truck assemblies from UP 51-56 were reconditioned by UP at Omaha in 1962 and shipped to GE-Erie for use on U25Bs; the car bodies were scrapped by UP at Omaha and Cheyenne. The truck and bolster assemblies from UP 57-60 were reconditioned by UP at Omaha in 1963 and 1964 and shipped to GE-Erie for use on the U50s; the car bodies were scrapped by UP at Omaha and Cheyenne. Veranda´s: (#61 - 75) The truck and bolster assemblies from UP 61-68, 71-73, 75 (12 units) were reconditioned by UP at Omaha in 1963 and 1964 and shipped to GE-Erie for use on the U50s. The car bodies were scrapped by UP at Omaha and Cheyenne. The truck and bolster assemblies from UP 69, 70, and 74 (three units) were reconditioned by UP at Omaha in 1964 and shipped to Alco-Schenectady for use on the C855s.
