That is UP 126. According to that site, UPY 126 is a CCRCL converted from a B23-7.

I did a google search with "UPY 126" and the first return was that page. Great resource. Thanks.

Y=Yard

This is a separate number series for switchers and related units

Union Pacific established the UPY reporting mark during the general renumbering occasioned by the order of 1000 (since enlarged) SD70M's a few years back. They chose to establi***he UPY series for switchers, hump pushers, slugs, etc. rather than go to five-digit numbers.

UP bought it when they merged MP; they just painted it grey so everyone knows its a RCCL engine
