Notes:  
A

Actual plans to convert this unit to genset aren't known at this time, but it seems apparent that it will be converted. PRSX 2006 and 2007 were seen moving east through IL in mid-March 2008. They were sent to Mayfield, KY, arriving in early April. Both units were derelect as shown in the photo, with freshly painted frame, trucks, and fuel tanks. From various sightings and reports.

Previous unit number from visual verification. Unit history from the Unofficial EMD Homepage. According to UMLER search, ex-UP 1991 was listed as PRSX 2005, but this is known not to be correct, as the unit arrived at Mayfield as PRSX 2007 and a separate genset, numbered PRSX 2005, moved from Waycross to Mayfield a few weeks later.
