They where delivered as 9000-9005, then renumbered to 90-95, then again renumbered 954-959. 0q Date: 07/24/05 18:48 Re: UP GP-40X's Anyone? N. Salt Lake City- (6-79) Author: 2ebright Those UP GP40X's had some sort of experimental trucks. I never saw them on any other type of EMD unit. Do any of you know anything about these trucks? Why did they not get more use?
