| Cotton Belt - San Francisco 2015 |
"The St. Louis Southwestern Railway (reporting mark SSW),
known by its nickname of 'The Cotton Belt Route' or simply Cotton
Belt, is a former US Class I railroad which operated between St. Louis,
Missouri, and various points in the states of Arkansas and Texas from 1891 to
1992.
"Many former SSW locomotives are used by Union Pacific today,
although few still sport unmodified 'Cotton Belt' paint. Most of the remaining units have been repainted into the UP scheme,
while others wear patched SSW paint with a UP shield logo and new numbers
applied over the SSW number."

Unit 1068 is working in the freight yard in Martinez, CA, at least as of this morning, 6 June 2024. Still in the Cotton Belt paint as shown in your photo. Thought you might like to know. :-)
Indeed yes! Thanks!
