Is it true that UP just might reviel a NEW PAINT SCHEME? No…
Allan.
That should be put under the category of “I’LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT”
I agree … Where did you here that?
And if your wondering what Allen might be writing about, here is a TO thread on the subject. http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,964246
Interesting…
If Uncle Pete is gonna go all innovative I can think of LOTS of areas he might better approach than the paint scheme.
Pollution control, track maintenance, cleanliness of locos, some stance on graffiti, etc.
If this is true, I have heard it before. If someone sees one, can you email me a picture?
Thanks

WSOR’s Horicon paint shop is doing Hertiage units, suppposedly MoPac, Katy, and other predecessors, they will be leaving under tarps for unveiling on July 30.

Someone over on Railroadforums.com said that the WSOR paint shop was doing 4 of the SD70ace in tribute schemes for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines.
Guess we will just have to see what is unveiled.

Now im convinced its possible, keep it updated where, and when

Knowing the UP, they will probably patch paint the units! [(-D]

Don’t give them any ideas.
Allan.
If UP does get a new paint scheme they should put a confederate flag on it and the slogan “WE ARE THE NEW UNCLE SAM, WE WILL COLLECT ANYTHING THAT IS NOT OURS.”
Might they be doing this because BNSF redid their paint? Me thinks all signs point to yes.
Don’t count on it.
Allan.
Two are out of WSOR’s Horicon shops under tarps…only the plows were visible- the 8379 has a blue plow, while 8383’s is green. Mopac and CNW, I’m pretty sure.
ALL RIGHT!!
Sounds like it will have all the railroads UP took over or merged with on it?
