UP 1425
Posted by SFbrkmn on Tuesday, July 23, 2019 5:35 PM

In summer 1998 UP 1425 was assigned to Wichita Terminal Assn. This is either a SW15 or MP15 or whatever. What is the history of this unit? Was this a former Mopac?

I believe this was the only such eng that worked for WTA but there may have been another or two that came to Wichita for yd service but numbers are unknown.

UP 1425 (renumbered to UPY 1425 in 2001) is an MP15AC, built as MILW 465 and renumbered SOO 1531.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
