MPEX MP2000C 6201
Title:  MPEX MP2000C 6201
Description:  Motive Power Industries MPEX MP2000C demonstrator 6201 was on the BNSF at Lafayette, Louisiana. The locomotive had arrived on New Orleans Public Belt from Houston on 25 August 2003 on a 30-day lease to see if the NOPB was interested in buying it; but they weren’t. It left for Houston on the BNSF on 22 October 2003 and was set out at Lafayette because of an air brake problem.

The 6201 was built on the frame of an SD35 which had been built in January 1965 as Southern Pacific 4828. The unit was quickly renumbered 6912, rebuilt into SD35R 6951 in 1974, renumbered 3102 in 1980 and then 2958 in 1993. It was retired 1995, sold to Progress Rail in 1996 and ended up at Boise Locomotive in1998 where it was rebuilt into the 6201. When Wabtec closed the Boise plant in 2020, the 6201 was being used as an Emissions Test Bed, and it was scrapped there during January 2022. (approximate date of image)
