Retired UP 103 - GE B23-7 |
| Description: |
This old girl was retired 12-20-06. Built at MP 4603 in January 1978 with a GE Builders Number of 41775. It got its UP number, along with a coat of yellow and gray paint on 7-28-1986. This particular paint job dates back to 10-4-95. You can still see just a little bit of Mo-Pac Blue in the frame stripe under the radiators where the trust plate once was. It was sold off at an auction in North Little Rock, AR on 10-8-09, and is was waybilled to the Arkansas and Missouri Railroad, I'm not sure why it ended up in Kansas City, but it turned around and went back to North Little Rock. However, while my MNA Job was in the city, I was able to snap a shot of her sitting in Terry Spur at UP Neff Yard. Hard to believe I got to run this thing way back in 2002 when I was 12. This was the first UP Dash-7 that I'd seen in probably a good 3 years, which sucks. The Dash-7's are the only GE's I like, it was a shame to see them go when they did. |

They've picked the 103 pretty clean. I wouldn't have minded taking that mega-sized speedometer home though. Sure is a shame. It's sad to think that I've sat in the seat that used to be mounted to the vacant pedestal in the photo. |
