| Notes: |
|
A |
This order for two RP20CD gensets is in addition to the first order for four delivered earlier this year. Like the first four, these units are funded by a Carl Moyer grant and will go into service on the Roseville, CA hump. The order was announced in a press release by Railpower on Sept. 22, 2008. |
B |
Core unit numbers for these two units was provided by Railpower in mid-Oct. 2008. At that time it was projected that the cores would be used in that order, but it was still early enough in the manufacturing process that they might have been switched. |
C |
Previous unit data from Don Strack's UP rosters. (http://www.utahrails.net/all-time/modern-index.php). |
D |
Build locations provided by Bruce Mercer. Unit spotted near complete at AMP in mid-April 2009. As of mid-May 2009, unit was still not on UP rails. |
