"Pictured in a state of disrepair at Union Pacific North Yard in Salt Lake City, Sacramento Northern GP7 No. 712 awaits an uncertain future on Jan. 19, 1985.

SN 712 was the last former WP unit still in Western Pacific paint to operate on home rails.

It was scheduled to be painted and renumbered Union Pacific No. 114 but was retired in March of 1985. By July, it would be donated to the Western Railway Museum in Rio Vista Junction, California.

By 2008, it was moved to the Western Pacific Railroad Museum in Portola, California."
