In September 1967 it was again renumbered and reclassed to SP 3010 SP Class EP418-5.
This locomotive was upgraded in October 1977 emerging as SP 3191 EMD GP9R, SP Class EP418R-1. In July 1985 it was reclassed to SP Class EF418R-6.
The disposition of this locomotive is, in Feb. 1993 it was retired. It was sold to the Feather River Rail Society. From there it went to the Connecticut Central as 3191, renumbered to 53.
