Southern Pacific (SP) SD39 5308 and fellow SD39 5303 switched cars in the SP yard in Mojave, CA on Thursday, March 29, 1973. 

SP 5308 was an EMD SD39, SP Class EF623-1. Reportedly: it was built in 1968, builders number 34006.

The disposition of this locomotive was: retired in 1995 and sold in 1996 to Progress Rail. According to conflicting sources: Sold in 1999 to National Railway Equipment. Rebuilt to SD40-2M. Leased to UP, 4763. Renumbered to UP 2810 in 2001. Retired in 2002. Other Reporting marks and numbers reported as associated with this serial number may include CEFX 2810 and WAMX 4218.

Paul Young said, "Switching the West end of the yard. I see the old Union 76 gas station in the background. This is probably the Mojave shorts (LAMJY) setting out & switching it's train. Once that was completed, they would assemble the outbound (MJLAY) train and head East, provided they didn't die on the law. The LAMJY/MJLAY would often have work to do in Palmdale and/or Lancaster. Nice catch, Steve Sloan!"
