Remarks & Notes 
The GATX repair facility in Colton, adjacent to Union Pacific's West Colton Yard, received a new locomotive in December 2024 – GMTX SW1000 78. This switcher was built by EMD in December 1970 as Burlington Northern 445. When the BN and ATSF merged, it was renumbered BNSF 3638. After being acquired by GATX, it is known to have worked in Amarillo TX and Calumet IL. It clearly received a new paint job for this assignment! (Colton, California – January 2, 2025)
