UP 942 trip to Metrolink Jun97 2
In the Summer of 1997, Orange Empire Railway Museum completed its purchase of UP E8 942 (former CNW 510) and it was moved via SP from Colton to Los Angeles to have a traction motor reinstalled at the Metrolink shops. It had received a "quickie" yellow paint job to make it look a bit more presentable, applied with Home Depot paint and rollers at the scrap yard.
Today the locomotive is fully restored and operational at the museum.
