It seems strange to me that this RI locomotive is in Union Pacific colors in 1960 when I thought it wasn't until 1964 that they proposed a merger to the ICC, and it wasn't until 1974 that they said OK you can merge.

Rock picked up a bunch of these used from the UP, not sure of the dates, though I think it was later than 1960. Some went into service on the Rock with minimal repainting, in fact, none, except for a change of herald and patching out the lettering.
