Robert Garton	General	Do you know if there are any of these on display or in service anywhere today?	2/10/2007 8:28:06 PM

Kenny Ravenscroft	General	Great picture!!!!!!!!!	2/17/2007 2:22:25 PM

Steve E	General	Don't think any have survived, neither U50 or U50C	5/1/2007 12:53:00 PM

Tony Fernandez	General	According to the Rev. Harold Keekley's book "ROARING U50s," all of the U50s and U50Cs were disposed of. If not scrapped by Erman Bros, they were used by the UP as "trade in " units to GE (I suspect used as credits on the UP #2400/2500 series C30-7s built in 1978-1980).	12/2/2007 1:24:59 AM

Bob Womack	General	I STILL can't believe UP didn't save ANY!	12/9/2007 8:16:29 PM

Wilfred Roberge	General	Well at least I have my Model! I think UP didn't want to save a U50C because they were a fabulous failure. At least a Centenial and Big Boy was something they could be proud of.	3/4/2009 12:40:25 AM

Todd Madson	General	I was hoping the railroad museum at Union, IL would have saved one. Nope. But they did have one of the UP 8500 HP "Big Blow" gas turbine engines and tender(s). 8500HP!	10/29/2009 3:28:56 AM
