GMTX 2161         
Wearing a layer of weathering after several years of work in the GATX Lease pool, a GP38-2 speeds south in a UP mixed freight heading for nearby Miller Yard. Delivered to Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific as GP38-2 4323 in October 1976 and remaining with the carrier until the demise of The Rock in 1980. This locomotive didn't sit for too long becoming Missouri Pacific 2161 then Union Pacific 2261 until being sold then leased back to UP but in GATX dress and back to 2161.

Fred Stuckmann General Nice shot and info. 1/31/2014 7:12:56 PM
Jacob Rajlich General The 2161 is actually ex-CRIP GP38-2 4351. It became MP 2289, then UP 2289, then UP 789, and was then returned following lease expiration to GATX as their 2161. Unit was overhauled by GE, as displayed by the sticker up front. Serial is 757136-37. Hope this helps! :) 11/17/2014 3:38:57 PM
