Notes:

1. UP 744 was renumbered back to D&RGW 3092 on 10/10/00 (renumbered from D&RGW 3092 to UP 744 on 11/5/98) to make the 744 number available for use by GP38-2 2244, which was renumbered to UP 744 on 10/11/00. UP 744 was retired on six months ago, on 4/18/00, and records show that it was located at National Railway Equipment's Mt. Vernon, Ill., shop at the time of renumbering to D&RGW 3092.
2. Numbered by Mid America Car in Kansas City, under contract for UP; moved to Mid America Car via interchange with KCS.
3. UP 678 was renumbered from UP 2179 by Norfolk Southern at Altoona, Pa., after the unit's tri-annual inspection, under contract for UP. Out of sequence; UP 2179 should have become UP 676, but that number was still in use by a former MKT GP40.
4. This is an error. Photos show that C&NW 8681 was in service until at least August 2, 2005, and was formally reported, again, as being renumbered to UP 9785 on September 3, 2005
