UP 3203
Title:  UP 3203

A renumbering would occur again on October 23, 2002 when all cab equipment was replaced becoming UP 8952 SD40-2 and finally UP 3203 SD40-2 on April 22, 2014. Currently this Mopac veteran is assigned to UP's Davidson Yard wearing the lightning stripe scheme and a large dent on the fuel tank from a sideswiping.
