UP and its surprise

UP's dressing up a handful of SD70ACe's in "fallen flag" colors turns an otherwise ugly locomotive into an interesting work of art. <br /> <br />Is the two tone MoPac and WP schemes supposed to represent the early, and later paint schemes of both railroads? I initially the locomotives would be in one scheme, and not a combination of two. <br /> <br />Are there plans to paint an SD70ACe in Rock Island colors? Using the red and black with "wings" on the front end would be classy. Using the Rocket passenger scheme would be interesting. Hopefully UP won't do a combination of two shades of maroon, yellow nose, and bilboard lettering with the "R" and "I" being larger than the rest of the railroad's name. [:(] Given the color combinations on the Rock during the final years, that may be more "authentic," but not attractive.
