New C44AC deliveries (2 units):

UP 6523, 6526

New SD90AC deliveries (4 units):

UP 8524, 8527, 8530, 8542

Lease Expired Units (32 units)

The lease on 32 former SP and SSW GP40-2s in the SP/SSW 7240-7273 group expired on 31 March 2000. The units were built in October and November 1984 and were retired by UP during April; they were moved by their owner to National Railway Equipment in Silvis, Illinois, during April for storage. Included were: SP 7240-7246, UP 5217 (ex-SP 7247), SSW 7248-7254, SP 7255, SSW 7256, 7257, 7259-7263, SP 7264, SSW 7265, 7266, UP 5236 (ex-SSW 7268), SSW 7259-7273. Two units (SSW 7258, 7267) were retired by SP prior to the UP merger. The group was assigned UP 5210-5241, but only two units were renumbered prior to retirement; they were assigned UP 1310-1341 in the new renumber plan.

Retired units (28 units):

Note: The last seven former SP B36-7s (of 16 units to UP) were retired during April.

Renumbered units (66 units):

• C&NW 8514 was renumbered to UP 9026 on 7 Mar 2000 (planned to be UP 9036).
• C&NW 8504 was renumbered to UP 9035 on 17 Apr 2000 (planned to be UP 9026, then UP 9036).
• By extrapolation, C&NW 8513 will likely be renumbered to UP 9036 sometime in the future (than again, it might not).
• No typos this time, since I built the renumber list direct from the data I received from UP by changing the format from Excel to a Word table, then, rather than retyping the data, I expanded the columns, moved them around, and did several find-and-replace actions to do away with the abbreviations that are always used. It might be wrong, but I doubt it.
• Don't apply too much logic to this stuff, as they are renumbering the units into existing empty slots, and since C36-7 9036 is still in that number slot ...
