don't know for sure, but more than likely it was one of those units they painted shortly after SP merger that says WE WILL DELIVER. yeah right, eventually maybe, but at the time of the merger it was the wrong slogan at the worst time.

It was in red below the UNION PACIFIC so I don't think it was WE WILL DELIVER. I seen on UPs web site it was going to texas, so maybe it will come your way.

all but one of the ones I have seen have the operation lifesaver herald (the crossing gate logo) on the long hood basically under the radiator intakes, the other one just had the saying operation lifesaver under the Union Pacific name.
