UP doesn't own track to the East Coast. UP power can be found on other roads due to run-through and leasing, but not the DDA40X. Their Heritage Fleet, which 6936 is part of, seems to stay on home rails. In the days when UP had a whole fleet, there wasn't as much power leasing, and most roads wouldn't allow the double diesels on their rails anyway.
Fan of late and early Conrail... also 40s-50s PRR, 70s ATSF, BN and SP, 70s-80s eastern CN, pre-merger-era UP, heavy electric operations in general, dieselized narrow gauge, era 3/4 DB and DR, EFVM and Brazilian railroads in general... too many to list!
