Nearing the end of its service life, Southern Pacific U33C 8669 is looking a bit under-maintained. On 7/19/86, this engine would be renumbered to SPMW 8669 and downgraded to a stationary power supply. |

SP deadline - Taylor Yard, Los Angeles, CA - 3/16/75 |
| Description: |
Southern Pacifics Taylor Yard near downtown Los Angeles hosted an impressive deadline of stored power in the mid-1970s. A wide variety of power was sitting with capped stacks, including C415s, DD35s, GP9s, GP20s, GP30s, GP35s, GP40s, U25Bs, U28Bs, U28Cs, U30Cs, U33Cs and U50s. Many of these would be returned to service when the economy improved. |

SP 8774 |
| Description: |
Just two-and-a-half years old, Southern Pacific U33C has been stripped to its bare bones and sits on a whisker track at Southern Pacific's Taylor Yard, in Los Angeles. Built by General Electric in January 1973, this locomotive appeared to be beyond repair on July 16, 1975. But never underestimate the SP's shop forces, as before long this locomotive was back in service and earning its keep. This six-axle U-Boat would be retired on December 17, 1986. |
