Notes:

  1. All 18 units retired on either 15 November or 26 November 2007 and returned to owner Helm Financial; leased by Helm to Kansas City Southern.
  2. UP 900, 905, and 907 were seen at CEECO soon after their retirement by UP in November 2007; by May 2008, three freshly painted units identified as Savage Industries (SVGX) 8616, 8617, and 8618 were seen, and the three UP units were missing. The physical appearance of the three Savage units indicates that they are the former UP units.
  3. UP 912 (ex UP 2412) is part of a confusing pair of locomotives rebuilt by Motive Power Industries, with the other unit being UP 1008 (ex UP 2508). Early reports, and previously published information, showed that both units were rebuilt from the same locomotive. As research progressed throughout the period between 1997 and 2003, locomotive historians were able to develop credible histories for both units. The above information is the best available, as of September 2006.
  4. UP 917 (as earlier-number UP 2417, for unknown reasons) was retired on 13 October 2003 upon expiration of operating lease; returned to owner Helm Financial.
