Ex-Missouri
Pacific Diesel Units Still In Service
Compiled by Jay Glenewinkel
Compiled here is a partial listing of former Missouri Pacific
Power, that was on the property at the time of the UP-MP-WP merger in
1982. Originally, this section was just going to be only power that has
been retired by the Union Pacific. However, I felt it proper to create
the first ever, online roster with a complete number by number listing
of the former MoPac Power in service anywhere in North America. I have
included the renumberings of MP power on the Union Pacific System as of
December 16, 2001, along with the units in service elsewhere.
At this time, this roster is not complete. Several hours
of research is currently underway, and units as well as models will be
added on a regular basis, until the complete roster of 3000 plus units
is accounted for. This will include any power that was owned, leased or
assigned to the Missouri Pacific, including the former Western Pacific
and Rock Island GP40s. Any contributions of information and/or photographs
is welcome. If any errors, or information is found to be incorrect, please
contact us immediatley, and we will make the proper corrections.
Numerous resources include Union Pacific Railroad, Don Strack's
Union Pacific Locomotive Directory 2000, Kevin Eudaly's MoPac Power, Diesel
Era Magazine, CTC Board Magazine, and numerous private resources have
been used in the preparation of this roster. For more detailed information
of Missouri Pacific Power, I highly reccommend Kevin Eudaly's Missouri
Pacific Power.
UPDATE:
From September 2001 to current date, UP has retired over 300 locomotives,
and most of the Ex-MoPac SD40-2s and SD50s are gone with the exception
of the rebuilt units to SD38s for yard duties. All of the ex-MP GEs are
expected to be off the roster by May 2002. The legacy of the MOPac power
on the UP will soon be a thing of the past.
