34 -- -- Union Railroad 34 is a combination of parts from URR 13 and URR 16. URR 13 contributed the frame, including cab for the rebuilding. URR 16 supplied engine, main generator, air compressor, etc., completed in April 2015. Thus, 34 retains the narrow step-wells associated with early MP15 production.
