UP 6916
Union Pacific 6916 is a DDA40X diesel locomotive built for the Union Pacific Railroad. It now resides in the Eccles Rail Center at the Utah State Railroad Museum in Ogden, Utah.
==History==
UP 6916 was built by the General Motors Electro-Motive Division in November 1969 as one of a series of 47 locomotives of the same type. It weighs 542,432 pounds and utilizes two Model 645E3A V-16 diesel engines, each rated at 3,300 horsepower, for a combined rating of 6,600 horsepower. Maximum speed was set at 80 miles per hour. By 22 June 1980, the 6916 was placed in storage due to a decrease in traffic. It was returned to service soon after,〔 but by 1983, most of the DDA40X types were stored out of service in Yermo, California. In 1984, a motive power crunch caused Union Pacific to reinstate 25 of the locomotives, including the 6916.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Union Pacific DDA40X Centennial Locomotives )〕 The locomotive was finally retired from service on 16 May 1985, and internally gutted as a parts source for SD40 and SD40-2 diesels. The unit was donated "as is" to the Utah State Railroad Museum in 1986.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Locomotives: UP 6916 )〕
The DDA40X locomotive type was nicknamed "Centennial" after the 100th anniversary of the driving of the Golden Spike in 1869, which signified the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Union Pacific Centennials )〕 They are unique in that they are actually two power units on a single 98-foot frame, and are noted as being the largest diesel locomotives in the world. The 6916 is one of thirteen surviving Centennials.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DDA40X-The Centennial Survivors )〕
