UP 942 trip to Metrolink Jun97 3
UP E8 942 in Los Angeles, in tow to the Metrolink shops to have a traction motor installed, June 1997. This former C&NW unit (CNW 510) had just been purchased by OERM. It was given a quickie yellow paint job in the scrap yard before being moved to Metrolink- you can still see a bit of Metra blue around the end door- the unit was coupled to something else in the scrap yard and we couldn't reach this area.
Today the locomotive is fully restored and operational at the museum.
