According to good sources including Strapac's fantastic SP Compendium series, SP 3191 was built in May 1954 by EMD as a model GP9, builders number 19485, SP T&NO 283, SP Class DF-602. In 1965 it was assigned to the Pacific Lines and renumbered to SP 5893 SP Class DF-602. In 1965 it was renumbered to SP 3422 SP Class EF418-3. In September 1967 it was again renumbered and reclassed to SP 3010 SP Class EP418-5.
This locomotive was upgraded in October 1977 emerging as SP 3191 EMD GP9R, SP Class EP418R-1. In July 1985 it was reclassed to SP Class EF418R-6.
The disposition of this locomotive is, in Feb. 1993 it was retired. It was sold to the Feather River Rail Society. From there it went to the Connecticut Central as 3191, renumbered to 53. Then it went to the Providence and Worcester 53. Current status not known.
