patriotic railroads............
Posted by alcodave on Friday, January 28, 2005 2:46 AM
im sure everyone remembers during the first gulf war in 1991 Union Pacific painted a sd 40 into a desert camo paintscheme and ConRail paited a yellow ribbon on a sd50?are there any plans on the railroads today to do this to honor the veterns of gulf war 2?im sure a sd90 in desert camo with the wings on the nose and building America flag on the sides would look pretty cool.[:)]

Since UP doesn't wash its engines anymore, no one would be able to see it.
