It has been inoperable since 2017, and it appears UP no longer wishes to deal with its mechanical issues. Fortunately, the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America museum has said they intend to repair it and bring it back to operational condition.

These units, often known as Gensets, were built by National Railway Equipment. They have three Cummins diesel engines in them and operate with reduced emissions. Due to that, these units are most commonly found (when active) in California. Based on the aftermarket decorations, I would say that's where these units came from as well!
