Tom Beckett	General	Nice catch on a yellow MP lettered unit. There were a number of these, a bunch of SD 40's, as well as the SD 50's and C41-8's. For some reason, I think it had to do with some legality, or the way the leases were written, UP could not assume ownership automatically in the merger, and they were repainted, but kept their Mopac identity. As I recall, they didn't stay that way long.	12/8/2022 5:48:31 AM
