UP 1463
Title:  UP 1463
Description:  A yard hostler guides the engineer through the Davidson Yard ready tracks from the stepwell of a GP40M-2 where it will idle until assigned to a departing freight. Delivered to Chesapeake & Ohio as C&O 4078 GP40 in July 1971 dressed in Enchantment Blue and Federal Yellow but would later be repainted into the Chessie System scheme still keeping the same number. The Chessie/Seaboard System merger would bring a new number to this unit becoming CSXT 6833 in 1987 but would be retired without ever entering the CSX paint booth. Morrison Knudsen purchased and rebuilt this diesel for Southern Pacific releasing it on July 16, 1991 as SP 7126 GP40M-2. On July 22, 2010, this locomotive fell under the Union Pacific flag when it was patched UP 1463 and given a full repaint two years later. Note the dents on the fuel tank, evidence of a previous sideswipe incident.
