Ex-WP units in service

Even though it was yellow, GP40 #665 still had a working nose light as it left Oroville, Ca. back in 1987.

Nice shot Adam, under less than ideal light. The 665 looks real nice there. Thanks for sharing.

Nice!! UP 665 is the former WP 3516, one of the M/K rebuilds which is why it was still on the UP roster in 1987. It originally became MOPAC 665 with that squared off lettering Little Rock used on UP repaints but it was soon transferred to UP proper.

It's like seeing an old friend ...
