Western Railroad Discussion > Locomotive ID Bio And Model Help

I didn't have a picture camera at the time, this a video still from the video I shot of this train which was UP train AARAS-4 (Arlington Texas to Alton Southerns RR's Gateway Yard in East St.Louis Illinois). I have no idea what even the railroad FMIX even is can't find it on any railroad picture sites but anyways it's FMIX 63 for the engine number nor do I know the engines model so this is all a huge mystery to me, if anyone happens to know anything about this unit it's gratefully appreciated because it's definitely drawing a blank for me. Thanks for your help for whomever provides it.

I looked about and found that FMIX reporting marks beong to CCKX Incorporated according to Railraod Picture Archives (RRPA).  RRPA shows a shot of a tarped FMIX 53 at UP's Little Rock shops  -- picture taken on 12/26/2018.  A little more websurfing and I found that the parent company of CCKX is a company called Fabricated Metal Inc.  That company has been involved (according to it's website) in container manufacture.  There are 4 pictures of AAR Class FMS flat cars with CCKX reprting marks also on RRPA. But no FMIX #63!

That is former PHDX 63. A Phelps Dodge Morenci Mine (now Freeport McMoran) GP39-2. I tried to attach a picture but apparently Trainorders and IPad and me are not a combo that’s working together. But google phdx 63. 

Edit, posted a pic.  Found on railpictures.net Photo taken by Steven Vincent
