The newest yard power for UP's DIT poses next to a UP SD70M. Both of these SD40-2s were originally built for Mopac, one with dynamic braking, one without. |

| Description: |
ECRX 3002 SD40-2 poses for a photo at Union Pacific's Dallas Intermodal Terminal in Southern Dallas County. Delivered to Missouri Pacific as MP 6050 SD40-2 in June 1979, this was one of 74 units built to Burlington Northern SD40-2 standards for unit coal train pool service and stood out from the rest of the Mopac fleet by arriving from EMD with dynamic brakes. On May 19, 1988 this unit became UP 3950 and kept this number until retirement on December 21, 2001. After retirement from UP, David J. Joseph Co./Joseph Transportation, Inc. picked up this unit and leased it to Austin Area Terminal Railway. During shipment this diesel wore temporary reporting marks JTPX 3002 but was renumbered AUAR 3002 and arrived in full Austin Area Terminal Railway blue and white paint. In November 2012 Econo-Rail leased this unit for a switching contract at UP's Dallas Intermodal Terminal and the SD40-2 arrived in fresh blue and black paint with ECRX 3002 reporting marks on the cabside. Reportedly the lease is for five years so this unit could be wearing a new paint scheme and reporting mark if the pattern continues. |

| Description: |
A trio of EconoRail SD40-2s stand ready to work the next train at the Union Pacific Intermodal Terminal. All three diesels were originally delivered to Missouri Pacific but ECRX 3002, formerly MP 6050 SD40-2C, arrived from La Grange equipped with dynamic brakes for coal service. ECRX 3001 and ECRX 3004 were ordered by Mopac without this option but 3001 had this equipment installed after departing the MP roster. |
