| Remarks & Notes |
| SP 9793 leads an interesting consist that includes an Amtrak F40PH and a Montana Rail Link SD40. The train is headed south on Union Pacific's Lufkin Sub in Shepherd. A little over a year had passed since Southern Pacific was merged with Union Pacific, yet widespread service issues remained. During this time of transition, the railroad was chronically short of power and crews. Amtrak F40PHs were leased and pressed into freight service. The MRL SD40 was most likely leased for the same reason. |
