PC: Re: Ex-PC Locomotives on the UP

["Bill K" <pontiac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

UP just renumbered 2400 and 2500 series engines for rebuilt "GP38-3" units
using GP38 and GP40 carbodies.  while I don't think any of these are of PC
ancestory, these other units could become more of them - GP38 hulks are
hard to come by and there's a need for low-hp road switchers.

These units went to MKT after the leases expired?   I've seen shots, in
fact I think the newest issue of Railfan has a shot of an MKT train with a
black PC geep as the second unit -
