| Union Pacific 1375 was wearing a nasty patched paint scheme at Lake Charles, Louisiana on 21 August 2005. It had been built in November 1974 as Southern Pacific 3199, and was one of only three GP40P-2 units (SP 3197-3199) ever produced. This unit had its steam generator removed, received a larger fuel tank and was renumbered second 7602 in June 1985. (First 7602 was a Cotton Belt GP40 that had been upgraded into GP40-2 7961 in February 1982.) SP 7602 was assigned UP number 5274 in September 1997, but not but not renumbered before the railroad’s renumbering plan changed. It was assigned 1374 in December 1999, but was renumbered 1375 in August 2001 because the number 1374 was still occupied by an MP15DC which had not yet been renumbered Y1374. UP 1375 was repainted yellow on 7 October 2007 and upgraded into a GP40N in March 2019. |
