UP 959         
Blank number boards. I think this means either it's a new unit or just that it hasn't been assigned anywhere yet.

Mike Woodruff General Looks brand new. The date is wrong; this unit was built in August, 1946 and renumbered to 998 in March, 1948. 7/4/2007 10:42:16 AM
Tony Fernandez General Brian's correct, and in addition, the unit is an E7A. Note the slotted pilot, Mars light, louvered panel behind the cab's side door, and side panels' square windows. The unit was ordered as #10M1, but was delivered in Aug 1946 as #959A. It was renumbered #998 in Mar 1948. Terrific shot! 11/27/2007 11:38:48 PM
