The installation was completed to gather data for UP's new U50Cs that were then under development. The 12 cylinder engine and alternator were removed and the unit removed from service, without having had its original 16 cylinder reinstalled. UP 632 was sold to the Rock Island in 1972 and was stored at Silvis, Ill., until early 1978, when it was stripped to its frame and rebuilt to CRI&P road slug 283, completed in April 1978.
e. UP 633, 638, 639, 640 were reconditioned by UP in 1968 and assigned to the hump yard at Pocatello, Idaho, replacing retired Baldwin AS-616s.
f. UP 638 was repainted in July 1973 (while out of service at Council Bluffs, Iowa) by UP, including the then-current "We Can Handle It" slogan, and sent to Milford, Utah, to commemorate that city's 100 year anniversary. The unit was also used to represent Union Pacific at centennial ceremonies several other Utah and Idaho cities that year; returned to storage at Council Bluffs.

The rebuilding included reconditioned EMD 16-567B engines (rated at 1600 horsepower) and generators from retired former B&O F7s, installed in the original GE U25B car bodies. (See Pacific News, August 1976, p.17)
h. UP 629 and 636 were rebuilt by Morrison Knudsen to S3-3B road slugs and sold to Oregon, California & Eastern 7606 and 7607. The rebuilding included removal of all components from the former U25B frame and completely new low profile car bodies.
i. UP 630, 631, 635 were rebuilt by Morrison Knudsen to MK TE53-4Es 5303, 5302, 5301 respectively. The rebuilding included completely new car bodies and reconditioned EMD 16-567B engines and generators from retired former B&O F7s.
j. UP 634 was rebuilt by Morrison Knudsen to SP's first road slug, road number 1600, completed on 1 May 1980.

General Notes:

a. Original total of 28 units, numbered WP 3517-3544; 26 units to UP at merger; WP 3527 and WP 3540 were retired by WP prior to the UP merger.
b. WP 3532 was painted full UP yellow and gray and lettered for Western Pacific in late March 1983, the first former WP unit to receive yellow paint. Relettered to UP 680 in December 1983.
c. WP 3517-3526 were assigned UP 666-691. Only seven units carried UP numbers: one (UP 680) was the only unit fully painted yellow and gray, completed in December 1983. The other six (UP 676, 679, 681, 684, 686, 690) were only temporarily renumbered to their assigned UP numbers during a 30-day lease to MKT during August and September 1985.
d. All 26 former WP unrebuilt GP40s were placed into storage at Stockton in March 1983; then in late March, all stored units were moved from Stockton to Oroville, and in May they were moved to Portola. In August the units were moved to Salt Lake City, joining other WP units already in storage there.
e. All 26 units were removed from storage at Salt Lake City, Utah, and sent to MP in January 1984 for service in Texas, being assigned to Fort Worth, Tex., for maintenance. In April 1985 the units were placed into storage (at Houston and Spring, Tex., and North Little Rock, Ark.) to avoid maintenance costs until their lease expired. MP had planned to purchase the units after the lease expired, and rebuild them into GP38-2's, but the projected cost of that program was found to be too high and the units were retired instead.
f. WP 3517-3526 were retired in August 1985 upon expiration of the 15 year lease; returned to owner/lessor on 31 August 1985. Between September 1985 and February 1987, the units were leased to Kyle Railways (five units in September 1985 to November 1986), MKT (five units, July 1986 to September 1986), and Soo Line (ten units in September and November 1986 to February 1987). Upon return from lease to Soo Line in February 1987, all 10 units were moved to Mid-America Car in Kansas City for reconditioning and lease to start-up Chicago, Missouri & Western.
g. During August and September 1985, UP leased six GP40s in the WP 3527-3544 group to MKT for 30 days for service on their OKT, former-CRI&P, lines. The units were all still in full WP paint and numbers, they were renumbered to UP 600 series numbers by blacking out their former WP lettering and numbers and spray-painting the UP numbers on the cab sides in orange. All 16 units in the WP 3527-3544 group were leased to MKT, but only six were actually sent to MKT, the other ten not being in operating condition. Included were UP 676 (WP 3528), 679 (WP 3531), 681 (WP 3533), 684 (WP 3536), 686 (WP 3538), 690 (WP 3543). The units were returned to UP in September 1985 and stored at Lloyd Yard in Spring, Tex. The other 10 units had remained in storage at either Spring or Houston, Tex.
h. WP 3527-3544 were retired in September 1986 upon expiration of their lease; returned to owner/lessor, GATX; stored on UP property until late February 1987, when GATX shipped the units to Mid-America Car in Kansas City for reconditioning. WP 3529, 3539, UP 686 and 690 were shipped from North Little Rock in primer paint with their UP or WP numbers in white. UP 680 (ex WP 3532) was the only yellow unit in the group.
i. WP 3517-3526 (10 units, returned to owner GATX in August 1985) and WP 3527-3544 (16 units, returned to owner GATX in September 1986) were leased to the Chicago, Missouri & Western Railroad (CMNW) in April 1987 for that new road's start-up. The group of 26 units were renumbered to CMNW 3000-3009, 3011-3025, 3010. In January 1990, all 26 units passed to Gateway Western Railway (GWWR), as successor to bankrupt Chicago, Missouri & Western. In July 1990, five units were sold to Morrison Knudsen for rebuild to SP/SSW GP40-2s. All were completed in November 1990. In September 1990, 17 units were sold to Wilson Railway Co., for resale to Wisconsin Central, Ltd. Between September 1990 and January 1991, the units were rebuilt by WC's North Fond du Lac shops, emerging as fully painted WC units. Four units remained in service on Gateway Western: GWWR 3008 (ex WP 3525), GWWR 3013 (ex WP 3530), GWWR 3019 (ex UP 684), and GWWR 3020 (ex WP 3537).
j. WP 3517-3526 were built on EMD order number 7272.
k. WP 3527-3544 were built on EMD order number 7332.
