LA Times Delivery. After printing newspapers at its Olympic Blvd. location since it was built in 1988, the LA Times itself announced in late 2022 that the plant will shut down in 2024. The plant is served a few times a week by Union Pacific Job YJY68. On April 13, 2022, UP 1373 (née-Southern Pacific 3198, EMD, GP40P-2, 11/1974) was pulling cars out of the build long hood forward with its “flatback” showing. This engine is one of 16 GP40 variants built by EMD for passenger service, its extended body capped with a flat back to accommodate a steam generator. Of the 16, this and sister unit 1375 are the only ones left with unusual feature. The others, Indiana Harbor Belt 4010 GP40P-2 and the 13 ex-Central Railroad of New Jersey units that now serve New Jersey Transit, have been rebuilt and have the more familiar angled cap.
