| In-Terminal Services (ITSX) SD40-2T 2864 was parked at the ITSX service area in Haslet, Texas. ITSX switches the nearby BNSF auto ramp and the intermodal facility at ALLIANCE YARD. The locomotive had been built in April 1975 as SSW SD45T-2 9384 and became a Union Pacific loco when the UP merged with the SP in 1996. It was sold to Locomotive Leasing Partners (LLPX) on 18 August 1998, rebuilt by VMV at Paducah with a 16 cylinder, 3000-horsepower prime mover and was leased back to the UP as the 4923 in December 1998. It was renumbered 2864 on 23 April 2002 to make room for a new SD70M and was retired by UP on 31 May 2003, upon the expiration of its lease from LLPX. LLPX sold it to First Union Rail (FURX) and it was leased back to UP on 17 July 2003 as part of its peak power program until being retired (again) on 26 June 2008. |
