Notes:
A. Serial number verified from builders plate by Ken Larson. Frame number from Mark Gillings. CNW 4328's history was compiled by checking the Unofficial EMD Homepage (http://www.trainweb.org/emdloco/) and Don Strack's CNW Diesl Roster (http://utahrails.net/cnw/cnw08.php#4327-gp7r). Note that the unit was mentioned by an NRE employee as being ex-UP 9961, EMD GP40, former UP 679, MKT 244, CR 3139, orig. PC 3139, built Sept. 1968, b/n 34316, f/n 7127-35. I believe this is not correct, and have used the frame number data for the unit history.
