Description:  Union Pacific Railroad B23-7 107 at Norfork, Arkansas on November 15, 1992, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 107 was built as Missouri Pacific 2296 in January 1978 (c/n 41779), and was wrecked at Gorham, Illinois on May 17, 1978 when it rear-ended a stopped Cotton Belt train.

It was retired by the UP on April 26, 2005, and on August 1, 2007 became UPY 2678.

Title:  UP B23-7 107
Description:  Union Pacific Railroad B23-7 107 at Norfork, Arkansas on November 15, 1992, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was wrecked five months after delivery as MP 2296. A replacement GE cab was not available, so the MP shops adapted an EMD cab to a GE locomotive.
