This is 1 of 10 Alco C630's bought by the UP in 1966. They were off the property in late 1973. There is some interesting history of these engines at Utah Rails. These were the last Alcos purchased by UP and the loss of UP's business probably accelerated Alco's decline.

That's a Centennial predecessor, DD35 #83, behind.

I take it their 6-axle experiments weren't the most promising to the Class 1's?

I always thought the Centennials had 6900 series numbers and had wider cabs.
