I recently scanned this slide of UP SD40 3065 taken at Argo Yard in Seattle, WA 10-26-80.  Not very remarkable it was just one of Union Pacific’s 123 SD40′s.built in 1966.  The 3065 served UP for 22 years until it was retired in March 1988.

It went to NREX and was repainted into this mainly gray scheme with red lettering keeping the number 3065 seen here on the BN at South Seattle, WA 8-3-98.

In 1999 Tacoma Rail in Western Washington purchased the 3065 and it was painted red and white and numbered 3000.  It was photographed at Tacoma, WA 11-23-14.

The TRMW 3000 is still in operation today at Tacoma, WA, 23 years later making it in service longer on Tacoma Rail than it was on UP.  That’s a survivor!.
