Greg,
I was on assignment a few weeks ago that took me around the former SP
hump called Englewood. The hump engines were one SD-40-2, a 4 axle GE
of some kind made into a slug and "something" newer--so that is a fairly
wide range in time spans. Unfortunately I haven't followed the latest
in power so I can't even tell a GE from a EMD/Cat nowadays.

Hi Ed,
UP had no F7's for ten yrs when they received their first SD60's. The
ex-WP GP35's (in UP paint) worked with the SD60's. You might have
seen ex-WP GP9's (also in UP paint) for a brief time with the SD60's.
You can mix GP35's with GP9's and there was about 7 or so yrs when the
GP35's were new that they could be seen with F7's and rebuilt F3's.
SD60's from CNW and SD50's have been sent back to the holders of the
leases and who sold them to NS and short lines. The UP SD60's are now
getting rebuilt as are the SD40-2's so you will see them with SD70ACe's.

Could there have been a scenario where a UP SD60 could have been
consisted with a F7? Would either loco have to have been leased to
a smaller railroad? Which other earlier diesels could have been
seen to lashed up with the SD60? Don't want a stupid scene on my
layout. : >)
