He's asking about units that worked for SP in the Portland area, isn't he?

In any event, no ex-MKT switchers anywhere near Portland. The four remaining units are assigned to Yard Center, the former C&EI facility south of Chicago.

For those interested, Don Strack's web site is an excellent resource for determining the heritage of UP's yard engines. The MP15DCs came from the MoP, C&NW, P&LE (all of which have EMD's standard headlight/number board/class light assemblies) and SP. Click here: [utahrails.net]
