i always thought that UP may get more ACe's, i never recall seeing enough ACe's go through in primer paint to be painted in heritage paints.
derailment? what derailment? All reports of derailments are lies. Their are no derailments within a hundreed miles of here.

More SD70ACe’s for UP?
Posted by K. P. Harrier on Thursday, October 13, 2005 1:13 PM
With the completion of UP’s SD70ACe order for units 8309-8423, word is that SD90AC units 8500-8521 are being renumbered to 8910-8931. That MAY indicate 77 to 98 additional new SD70ACe units are in the works or planned. Word too is that an SD40T-2 unit was recently renumbered to 8625. That strikes me as strangely limiting future SD70ACe acquisitions.
