Operation Redblock

Union Pacific SD40-2 No. 3626 idles in Salt Lake City on Aug. 23, 1992. It is one of three UP SD40-2s to wear the "Operation Redblock" scheme.

 

From UP.com: "Operation RedBlock began as a joint labor-management effort in the late 1970s in response to increased substance use among railroad employees. A local UP labor representative suggested that these employees should have the opportunity for rehabilitation rather than dismissal."
