WP Lives Part Three - GP40-2 with an MP Touch

UP GP40-2 912 at Guilds Lake Yard, Portland, Oregon
Subtitle; "If Locomotives Could Talk."  UP 912 is of a group of ten WP GP40-2's that were by turns stored at Stockton, rebuilt as slug masters, leased to the MP for service in Texas, and some would then be concentrated in the Northwest in local and secondary service. One unit, 907 was lettered Missouri Pacific on yellow paint. I would love to know the story behind the Mop Jenks Shop lettering and numbering font variation. Roster info from.
