<P>There are a good many of SP AC44 still unpatched. I have seen them around Grand Junction, CO and about 15 in coal trains running through North Platte, NE on Powder river trains. According to the roster on the UP website, as of 1/1/06 there are 57 AC44 yet to be renumbered along with 2 B23-7's, 5 GP38-2's, 1 GP40, 20 GP40-2's, 10 GP60's, 21 SD40-2's (probably tunnel mtrs), 3 SD40T-2's, and 2 SW1500's. 121 units in all not counting SSW or DRGW locos. I already stated where the AC's are. A lot of the GP60's are working rock trains around Dallas and East Texas. (Saw UP 1900 ex-DRGW GP60 in longview on Sat). I have seen one GP38-2 and two of the GP40-2's in Fort Worth a GP38-2 switching just west of the Colton,CA yard and another unpatched ex-SD45 at the yard. There is a side track on the North side of the Downing B Jenks shop in Little Rock, AR that has a B30-7 and an SD40 in clean unpatched SP speed lettering. </P> <P> </P> <P> </P>
