"lucky" is hardly the word i would choose to describe this situation. it bothers me to no end. the patches have yellow where yellow doesnt belong. it officially kills and ruins the look of the CNW, and what's worse, i'm forced to call them UP locomotives. even though they CLEARLY dont have armour yellow and harbor mist grey paint, there's no boring red text on the hood, the sill isnt red, and the trucks arent grey either. it doesnt fit the UP requirements. it's more CNW than UP and should be called CNW. paint determines the reporting mark, not the owner!
WP, you ask? check out this one museum out West. they have a LOT of WP power running there. there's also some MKT power running, but no hood units. MoPac got shafted the worst, but CNW means more to me so i dont mention MoPac much either. of course when the ex-MoPac stuff starts getting retired, you might see the fans try to get one donated and repainted to jenks blue somewhere. this WONT be the case for CNW. their stuff is being retired in many places as we speak, yet everyone doesnt notice because they're too busy fanning those ugly trash 9s that barely qualify as true CNWs anyway. THEY dont notice. only me and a handful of truly devoted CNW fans do.
Your friendly neighborhood CNW fan.
Whatever you say Atmo, CNW isn't the only RR that's been (or is being) lost to the history books. Just don't complain about what you have now, no matter how much you dislike it. One day who knows, you might wish you'd watched it more.
that wont happen. trust me. i'll be glad to see it gone.
i want at the new stuff so i can brag about it when it becomes old stuff
LOOK ITS THE FUTURE....AS THE OLD SAYING GOES...."OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW" GET IT.....GOT IT......GOOD!!!! Now lets please move on and not worry about the UP and the CNW patched crap....

Agreed, there's no reason to complain about this topic anymore. EJ&E, how'd the trip go otherwise? Down in Grafton, WV, we still have a turntable that CSX uses. It was weird watching them spin an AC4400CW around!
Lionel collector, stuck in an N scaler's modelling space.
too right. and unfortunately, UP doesnt get it. because i dont get ANYTHING new up here. nothing but those zombies. if i got new stuff instead, do you REALLY think i would still be whining? i would be able to finally forget about CNW and move on to the modern diesel era! but UP wont send me ANYTHING except for zombies. THAT'S the problem! that and the morons who actually expect me to ENJOY them.
OMG STOP WITH THE CNW WE GET IT WAIT FOR A UP CNW HERATGE!
no hard feelings, but i dont complain about not seeing anything but painted over GTW's
