UP funeral train(a couple CNW SD40-2s in it) on 6/22/08 in Clinton

Westbound UP funeral train with a bunch of different units. The last one I remember is UP 3053, a former CNW SD40-2, you can see green in the number board holes if you look close. I don't remember the symbol for this train, but I THINK they were headed to Council Bluffs.

No, the SP units were simply being transported to be returned to their lessor. As for the missing nosebell... don't quote me, but someone told me the bell from that unit ended up on the 6847.

@shadowknight227 I tell ya the world is going to hell with these damn GEVO's it's gonna be boring as fuck to know what the power on each train is gonna be when we know it's all GEVO's so we better find as much of this classic power as possible because sooner or later it's just gonna be GEVO's ACe's, and those Catapillar motors.

@UPDetector And they are STILL scrapping some! I saw some units down at East Yard, in San Antonio (they are currently still there), along with some B40 and C40-8s. They are probably screwed up in some way, though

See the thing I don't get is why did UP restore 300 of there SD40-2's after they got rid of these SD40-2's when they could've saved them for restoration man UP sometimes is just stupider than a deranged maniac when it comes to thinking correctly.
