I'm not an expert but that looks like a six-axle E series engine.

The locomotive model error is an obvious typo, but according to the Amtrak Car and Locomotive Spotter, Revised Fourth Edition of 1980, the highest-numbered ex-UP E-unit on Amtrak was 433, ex-UP 961A, an E9. The 439 here is ex-Amtrak 216 which was originally RF&P E8 1007. Amtrak initially numbered its E8s in the 200-series, and the E9s in the 400s, but later, to clear the 200s for new F40PH locomotives, remaining active E8s were put into vacant 400-series slots
