News for July 1998
(updated 6 August 1998)

Here is the data I have so far on UP's new 2380 series, including info from KMA. All are owned by LLPX and will supposedly be GP38s rebuilt to GP38-2s by VMV. I assume the ex-NS units will have their high short hoods chopped.

(unit histories from Ken Ardinger)

UP 1241 (2nd), ex UP 1201, was retired on 22 Jun 1998.
C&NW 4100, 4135 (GP7R) retired on 22 Jun 1998.
SP 2964 (SD35M) retired on 22 Jun 1998.
SP 7346, 7359, 7362 (SD40R) retired on 29 Jun 1998 and turned over to training department.

As of 15 July 1998, all SW10s at Salt Lake City were side-lined and replaced by SW1500s, MP15DCs and MP15ACs, of SP heritage. The SW10s are said to be too light for the increased switching that is taking place at the combined ex-UP North Yard and ex-D&RGW Roper Yard. LLPX 157 (MP15DC) is also assigned to Salt Lake.

GATX 150-154 (SW1500) are ex-HLCX/CSXT/SBD/L&N 1120, 1121, 1123, 1125, 1127, to UP on 31 Dec 1996.
LLPX 155-158 (MP15DC) are ex-GATX/CR 9625, 9626, 9627, 9629, to UP on 31 Dec 1996.
