    UP trace shows SP AC 4400 #248 placed at NLR shop. This is to become UP 6294 from the info I have.

    As of Saturday December 8th, SP 9812 hadn't been patched. We are using UP 1441 which used to be SSW 7960. Wasn't that one of the original GP40's bought by Cotton Belt in 1966 in the 7600 series?

    Yep, it's an original GP40, one of only 8 bought new by SP/SSW in March 1966. It originally was SSW 7606 before being upgraded and renumbered at Sacramento in 1981, when it became SSW 7600.
