UP 4838

Name	Type	Comments	Date

Roger Roger	General	This is not the original 4838, as the original 4838 was wrecked in Monahans, TX in 2018 along with UP 6073 and UP 7129. This is UP 4967, which was wrecked in Deming NM in 2017. 4967's cab was crushed inward, making it look like it's cab roof was taken off. UP 4838 was totalled in the 2018 derailment, but its entire cab and nose was nearly undamaged. They salvaged the cab of the wrecked 4838 and used it to repair the damaged cab of 4967. They also renumbered 4967 to 4838. I think it's neat that 4838 is still kinda on today's rails. Great photo btw	4/18/2021 12:29:46 AM

Ryan Hahn	General	Thanks Roger for that information, I didn’t know that about this particular engine but was wondering why it was listed as the 2nd UP 4838.	4/18/2021 7:47:42 AM
