| SP 2970 SD35R has been under the Union Pacific flag less than six months but this regular fixture of the Englewood Yard hump will be off the UP roster by the end of the year. Delivered to Southern Pacific as SD35 4819 in December 1964, then renumbered SP 6903 a year later in 1965 keeping this number until May 1978 when this diesel emerged from a rebuild becoming SD35R 4709. This SD35R would be renumbered once more to 2970 and assigned to Englewood Yard for hump duties until 1997 when this unit was officially retired on December 31, 1997. On April 15, 1999 SP 2970 was sold to Boise Locomotive Works and presumably scrapped. |
