locomotive road numbers and birth years

Here's a good idea and a challenge.Finding a locomotive with the same road number as your birth year.I saw UP 1980 come through here in Pine Bluff last month.1980 is my birth year.

it is impossible to find a locomotive on my road because the WSOR uses the model such as sd40 speaking of which i seen three of them go by my house about an hour ago 4007 4002 and i think 4006 of which are sd40s and there gp38s are 3801-8 and so on and they dont have any gp19 or sd 19 if there is such a thing and they wouldnt buy them anyway.(too small)BTW my birthday is june 16 1991! but im sure the UP has my B-year though!!
the happiest people in the world dont have the best of everything, but make the best out of everything they have
