Saw a very nice set in the Roseville (CA) yard. The Southern Pacific Heritage Unit (UP1996) was in the lead with another new SD70Ace behind followed up by the Western Pacific Heritage unit, running long hood forward. At 1815 PDT, they were heading a train East out of the Roseville yard. Looked sharp. I’m gonna have to get an SP Heritage Unit.[:)]
Just wondering… will the SP unit hang around the west coast on its former rails? I really want to see it.
That SP unit came out really, really nice. I admit though, I dig them all.
Last year I had an opportunity to photograph the George Bush, Katy, and Mopac units just outside of College Station, Tx. While talking with a UP employee who was there also taking pictures, he told me that the heritage units are to be assigned to the territory of the origingal road for at least the first year. So you should have a chance toi see the SP unit.

Does anyone have links to pics of these units, I would really like to see them. I’ve only seen the SP and I really dig it. Thanks. Jason
