Those were the group that were retired by UP and sold to LLP. LLP then contracted with VMV to rebuild them to more-or-less SD40T-2 specifications. So, UP didn't rebuild them, because UP didn't own them.

More information about them (particularly note "c") can be found on Don Strack's Utah Rails website. [utahrails.net]
