UP 9440, south of Bill, WY
C&NW ROHSC is headed to South Morrill where UP will call it CROHS for LCRA at Halstead, TX. Here is evidence that crappy numberboards on Union Pacific units are not a new phenomenon. A few NS B-boat were leased as kickers for a few months and used to supplement DC power on trains between the mines and South Morrill as car counts on the trains were increasing. This ended as new AC deliveries pushed the DC power off the coal trains. The 9440 was likely cut up at LTEX around 2018.
