Good, when they finally come out maybe the new will be worn off the Heritage units and we won't have to see another gillion "heritage" unit threads. [:(!]

I also heard that they are already painted, sitting on a siding, but I also don't know how true this is.


Definitely not true. These engines are much too valuable as horsepower, and UP is still a bit short.

Rock was split up among Cotton Belt and some other railroads, CNW, BN. It wasn't a direct merger to one railroad that went to UP.

I heard January, but I also heard that they are already painted, sitting on a siding, but I also don't know how true this is. I saw the Katy last Saturday, along with the Missouri Pacific. I also saw the MP the Saturday before last, and last Tuesday (23rd).
