Portland and Western 1801 is an EMD GP9R that was built by the Electro-Motive Division (EMD) originally for the Southern Pacific Transportation Company in April 1959.[1]
History
Revenue service
The locomotive had started its life as 1959-built SP GP9 No. 5830, in 1977, the #5830 went through the Southern Pacific’s own rebuild program known as the General Rehabilitation and Improvement Program (G.R.I.P) and it re-entered service on the Southern Pacific Transportation Company as No. 3855, remaining with SP until being purchased by the Willamette and Pacific Railroad (W&P) in 1995.[1]
1st retirement and preservation
2nd retirement and current status
As of today, Portland and Western No. 1801, along with other locomotives 1803, 1852, and 1854 have been sidelined due to Genesee and Wyoming's EPA scandal.[2][3]
