This locomotive has not been repainted since at least 1996 (when the SP, of which the SSW was a subsidiary, was merged into the UP).

One of the occasional freight runs we see on #CalTrain.

A paint-peeling and graffitied diesel up on a viaduct in San Carlos, CA.It's lettered (in peeling letters) "Cotton Belt" which was an SP subsidiary (officially St Louis Southwestern, or SSW). It follow the late SP ¨bloody nose" pattern of being dark gray/dusty black except for a bright red splotch on the front. This one has a yellow stripe under the cab window for it's official post-merger UP numbering (but even that is peeling).Heading northward with a cut of hoppers.

Guess who's back with another edit? Me I guess.

Yeah this took way too long, but I'm 99.9% happy with how this turned out!

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!"
