The original number boards on 5371 went missing when the unit was sent to Cheyenne after it was retired in 2008. Union Pacific was good enough to find it some really nice replacements!

If you can find the frame number, you can (theoretically) find which unit it originally belonged to. 756046-16 is the frame number for DRGW 5371.

Union Pacific donated DRGW 5371 to the Utah State Railway Museum in Ogden, UT. Unfortunately, the museum does not have a lot of funds and the Tunnel Motor may never be restored to a "pristine" condition.
