In 1969, Union Pacific was retiring the last of their gas turbine-electric locomotives. Union Pacific had ordered EMD DD35s and DD35As to replace the turbines, and the DDA40X was a further development. The first DDA40X, UP # 6900, was delivered in April 1969, in time to participate in the celebrations of the centennial anniversary of the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad driving the "Gold Spike Limited"; it arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah, on the morning of May 10, 1969. Forty-six more were built between June 1969 and September 1971, numbered from 6901 to 6946.
