I found the history of that E9B in faded Amtrak paint on the UP website:

UPB 966

The UP purchased 34 “B” units to be used in combination with the “A” units to complete the power requirements for each train. The UPB 966 was retired and sold to Amtrak where it was used for many years until being replaced by newer designed passenger locomotives. It was sold back to UP to be held as a back-up in Cheyenne to our present UP E-9 Fleet. It is presently equipped with two steam generators and is not self-propelled.

Retired by UP in 1971
