It could be a real challenge trying to guess the heritage of some of these diesels...I'm guessing UP

Thomas Rousseau General And you would be right on the heritage of this locomotive. It started it's life as EMD E8A UP 939, built in 5/53, builders #18270, frame #2060-1. It became AMTK 331 when Amtrak was started and motive power was "leased" to provide the passenger service with enough locomotives to run it's service around the country. These were replaced over time with newer Amtrak purchased locomotives. 5/2/2011 5:35:07 AM
