I thought UP retired its last GP7 many years ago.

Yeah. They don't know where they are. Yes, GP7s have been gone for a while, but they lost a bunch of x-CNW GPs after the merger (one of them is hidden in the Oelwein running repair shop)

If UP sent a train to Oelwein with orders to haul, say, engines 1,2,3, and 4 away so they could be scrapped, and engine 3 wasn't there, then it's lost. It may have been hidden away by a local group (as is pry the case with the Oelwein GP7) or it may have already been gone but paperwork said it was still there.

There's a famous story about a locomotive, 13 I think, that got lost in a creek bed. It was never found, or so the legend goes.
