The separate Cotton Belt became moot as merger with Union Pacific loomed and Southern Pacific (by then the former Denver & Rio Grande Western, which had merged the larger railroad and adopted its name) became part of the Union Pacific, which could route traffic any way that it pleased.

The locomotive here is in a paint scheme that predates the 1988 DRGW merger/takeover of SP/SSW, so this locomotive has been hanging around on borrowed time (and old paint) for nearly forty years.
