"Following its final retirement from service, UP 6925 was sent to Council Bluff's IA, where it was auctioned for scrap along with a handful of its remaining sisters.

​This is where a stroke of good luck befell the 6925, as the successful bidder's were not scrappers, but rather the owner's of the Dakota Southern Railroad, Dick and Alex Huff.

​The Huff brothers initially brought 6925 to Chamberlain to supply spare parts to their operating locomotive fleet, and eventually sold its 645 heavy blocks to Morrison-Knudsen to be rebuilt for use in commuter locomotives."


"Mindful of its significance as the only surviving DDA40X not yet in a museum's collection,"
THIS CLAIM ABOUT 6925 IS SUSPECT AS UNION PACIFIC OPERATED ONE OUTSIDE OF A MUSEUM! 6925 WAS SOLD AS SCRAP AND IS STILL SCRAP! FOURTH OWNER THUS FAR.

"Union Pacific has announced plans to donate its remaining Centennial, No. 6936, to the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America"

"As of September 2023, No. 6936 is undergoing operational repairs and passenger cars are being repaired and repainted."

Ghost of 6925 junk that foam wants to put lipstick on a rusty pig...
