WAMX 3881

WAMX 3881 is a locomotive operated by the Birmingham Terminal Railway (BHRR), a division of Watco.

The locomotive was built by Electro-Motive Diesel, a division of General Motors, as their Model EMD GP38-2 in 1972. It was sold to the Pennsylvania Central Railroad and first operated as their locomotive PC 7960, Class EF-20. In 1976 it became Conrail 7960.

The locomotive rejoined GM's EMDX fleet in 1987 as EMDX 760, and renumbered as GMTX 2211 in 2013, before it was sold to Watco.

In 2018 Watco rederessed the locomotive in a green and gold UAB Blazers theme. The new dress was unveiled on July 27, 2018 at a public event at the Birmingham Terminal Railway off Valley Road in Fairfield.
