"This is a Bachmann 724 HO Scale Union Pacific “The Centennial“ DD40X Diesel Locomotive. The Union Pacific initially ordered 25 of these locomotives back in 1968, and added 22 more to the order before the first unit was delivered. They were numbered 6900 through 6946. The lead unit was rushed to completion so it could participate in the May 10, 1969 celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the Golden Spike ceremony that marked the completion of the first transcontinental railroad. These locomotives were given the name Centennials in commemoration of that event. The remainder of the initial order was delivered between June and December 1969, with units 6925 to 6946 following in June 1970 to September 1971."
