citation needed? why?
the "citation needed" comments for the changes after the 2000 accident seem a bit pretentious as the changes are plainly visible (even in the attached pic) to any observer with eyes. Ken (talk) 18:52, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I've removed the notes, though I can't pin down the exact date of the collision. Anyone have a link to a news article about it? In any case, this photo was taken in 2000 and this one in 2002. Note the changes. Hellbus (talk) 21:21, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * thanx for the changes, I didn't want to just remove them on my own.
 * the accident happened the day after I took the pic I posted in the article (I took vacation to chase it from Conroe to Spring, Texas), Which would make the date of the accident Nov 30, 2000. as i recall, the changes included changing the nose door to open outward for safety (instead of inward, which contributed to the death of the employee who was in the nose at the time of the collision), as well as the mentioned AC and paint/logo changes. I'll do some searches to see if i can find links to UP articles. Railroadforums.com and TrainOrders.com were full of discussions, surely some links were included. I know that the Director of PR for UP (John Bromley) was often a contributor on TO at the time. The already-listed Utah Rails link includes some info on the repairs.

unreferenced tag
This article was tagged [unreferenced] on 27 October 2016 ... I find, following the links on this talk page - specifically the history of the unit on the Utah Rails Centennials page -  are sufficient reference for information posted ‎on UP#6936 page. Unreferenced tag rolled back. Whiteguru (talk) 08:28, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

#6936 donated to RRHMA
In an article released by Union Pacific today, it has been stated that 6936 has been donated to Railroading Heritage of Midwest America. I feel it would be appropriate to incorporate this new information into the article.
