HLCX 1804 GP38-2 spends New Years Day in Union Pacific's Browder Yard with another member of the Helm fleet. Delivered to Missouri Pacific as MP 861 GP38-2 in January 1972 but was soon renumbered MP 2012 just two years later. Another change occurred on December 10, 1986 when this Mopac diesel became UP 2338 then returned to its lessor on July 3, 1987. New owner Helm leased the unit back to Union Pacific and it was eventually repainted and renumbered becoming UP 1803 on May 12, 1989. On November 15, 2000 and a new number was applied becoming UP 303 then finally on October 23, 2014 leased power was moved off the UP roster and rejoined Helm as HLCX 1804. |
