Maybe on One Side they could have Route of the 400 and the other the Falcon Service.
Maybe they will put the bell on the nose.

it cant possibly be all-passenger scheme. gotta show a homage to freight too
Youd be surprised what it can be. I bet money that the “400” will be on it somewhere. That or the lightning bolt, but I can’t really see Falcon Service. It would be really cool if they did put a bell in the nose, but I dont think UP would even think of that.

Does ABBAE go through Ames, IA?
If so, when?
No, it just runs between Proviso and the Chrysler plant in Belvidere, IL
Bert
Whens the SP doing to Unvale?
It’s ABEBE.
Why? The D&RGW unit didn’t.
It is easy to forget the C&EI. I never think of the Mopac as going to Chicago, and I grew up in Mopac Land.
Thanks Carl! I hope to be there!
Just one question though: How are the gonna get it there without being seen?[?][:0]
Mike
As a guy who grew up and lives in Chicagoland, I too forget about them down there.
Bert
A bell on the nose would be too much to hope for! I’ll send UP an email! LOL!
Just like they did for 4 of the first 5- a lovely blue tarp.
Hey CNW 6000, when you write UP an email asking for the bell on the nose why don’t you add in a request for an amber strobe light on top!
Thanks,
CC
Gotcha. Do they just tarp it above the trucks and deadhead it in on a freight to Proviso? Who gets to move it from there to Olgilve? Sorry, I’m feeling inquisitive today!
Mike
the DRGW unit looks as though there’s some freight homage to it. the yellow body with the “Rio Grande” on the side. i swear i saw their hood units have that
oh oh and CNW6000, in the email, also request that part of it pay homage to the freight scheme. i, too, support the amber strobe idea. i never noticed the modern locomotives dont have that anymore
Gullable…
The DRGW unit is not really a frieght scheme. They had that yellow scheme with black letters on the F units i believe. The frieght scheme had a black body and yellow lettering.
Alec
Ok so that’s one bell on the nose, an amber light up top, and homage to the freight scheme. Would you like that to go? LOL!
might wanna wait and see if anyone else wants you to add something. 
DRGW was? dammit we only get one shot at seeing a new CNW locomotive ever again and i dont want it to be completely based on a carbody! i need something i can relate to from when i was 5 and saw the hood units go through the railroad by my old house every day
