Well, I don't really know why, but I've liked UP for about as long as I can remember knowing what a locomotive was. Maybe it was the colors, maybe not. I can't put my finger on it. Perhaps it was the red, white and blue shield on the front. I really don't know what it was. <br /> <br />Now we come to this thread about putting an image of the flag on the sides of their locomotives. I don't see this as being any different than me putting a flag decal on the back window of my truck (there's one there, but it was already applied to my shell when I bought it - I would have put one there otherwise). Being that I am proud to be an American, I can honestly say that I look proudly on the flag or images of the flag and I thank God that I was fortunate to have been born in the United States. I respect UP for placing that image on the sides of their locomotives. I like the fact that they remembered the soldiers during the first gulf war and painted a locomotive in camoflauge to commemorate our soldiers. <br /> <br />I believe UP is doing their part to carry on those traditions that they embody as a corporation. I wi***here were more corporations doing this. UP has kept steam alive, remembered our soldiers, supported the United Way, flown the flag and revived some of their history with their new locomotive schemes. I know some of this came from protection of their copyrights and licenses, but I for one am glad to see it.
