Exact selected-model catalog note (dates only where explicit): ex-MILW. UtahRails identifies the explicit serial-linked UP 2548 donor and later UP 1048 label. Reconditioned cabs, 3600-gallon tanks, D78 traction motors, AR10 alternators, extended-range dynamic braking and 2000-hp Roots-blown 645 engines describe the stated program; individual present modifications require inspection. UtahRails gives HLCX 1048 renumbering April 9, 2010; this is a reporting-number event, not original construction. The historical Milwaukee table gives February 3, 1999 rebuilding while the program table gives February 2 to the 2548 series; these differently described dates are not silently equated. Dated public-snapshot bounds unavailable in prior evidence; no appearance date inferred. Displayed horsepower, engine and wheel arrangement are class specifications, not an inspection of this item. Original construction, mechanical rebuilding, renumbering and paint are distinct. Undated roster Active/Retired flags are not evidence of present status. No complete history or absence of accidents is inferred. The preserved FOXY operating affiliation is a reported roster/log label, not an independently verified present assignment or legal ownership. February 1999 is the sourced rebuilt-number milestone; February 2/3 wording does not establish an exact mechanical completion day.

Overview visual review only. Small fittings, vent dimensions, horn configuration, air-conditioning equipment and hidden surfaces are not independently verified.

Research in progress: Current legal owner, operator, assignment and condition, Complete transfer, lease and renumbering chronology, Original builder plate and delivery/acceptance documents, Complete accident and major-repair history, Individual present equipment and paint remain unverified. Unverified fields do not establish that a rebuild or ownership change never occurred.
No unit-specific heritage designation has been verified in the reviewed sources. This is not a confirmed “No”.
Heritage review: 2026-09-30. Designations describe documented paint or preservation history; they do not confirm current paint, location or operating status.Not verified
Special paint and markings have not been verified for this identity. This does not establish a plain or standard locomotive.
Appearance review: 2026-09-30. Includes anniversary decals, tribute paint, wraps, plaques and older liveries. Reported appearances require confirmation; dated evidence does not confirm current markings.Accident and major-repair history has not yet been verified for this locomotive. This does not mean it has an accident-free history.

Previous railroad names and numbers are preserved as documented. Transfer dates, leases and the sequence of ownership are not assumed when the source does not establish them. Accident records must identify this physical locomotive, including any former number.
Reporting marks, ownership and the railroad operating a leased unit are separate facts. A roster listing or paint scheme alone does not verify the current owner. Age is based on original construction, not the latest rebuild. An order-group date is a build range, not an exact date for this engine. Model specifications describe the documented design; individual modifications and available traction power may differ.
Reports retain their original wording. Direction annotations are excluded from engine numbers. CN operation, reporting marks, and heritage paint are separate details; a reused number may identify another physical locomotive.Tagged with this unit or linked to a sighting that includes it.
