Why this one?
Author: edsaalig

Of the entire fleet of E9s did Union Pacific keep the 950?  I not where did she end up?  I took the photo of the City of Los Angeles in Pomona in the early 70s.

According to Don Strack's site, UP retired E9 #950 in 1971 and sold it to Precision National, who resold it to Morrison Knudsen for parts.  Are you thinking maybe of 951 instead?

Yes, the 951.  Does angthing remain of the 950 or was she sold for parts then scraped?

When they scraped 950 all the paint was gone and she rusted into oblivion.
