This release along with great pictures are on the uprr.com heritage page. <br /> <br />Omaha, Neb., July 30, 2005 – Union Pacific Chairman and CEO *** Davidson today unveiled an unprecedented new Heritage series of locomotives that will honor the people and the railroads that have made the company what it is today. Each locomotive will feature a unique paint scheme, incorporating elements of one of the six major railroads that have merged with Union Pacific. <br /> <br />"It is important that we take an historical perspective of who we are and how we got here," Davidson said. "Our reputation as America’s greatest railroad has been strengthened by the many lines that have become a part of the UP. It is time we pay homage to those railroads and the generations of men and women who helped to build a great nation and the foundation for our future." <br /> <br />The first two locomotives in the series were revealed Saturday in Omaha. The locomotives, which pay tribute to the men and women of Missouri Pacific and Western Pacific, will operate across the UP system. <br /> <br />The Missouri Pacific and Western Pacific locomotives will be followed in coming months by locomotives painted in the style of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas (Katy), Chicago & North Western, Southern Pacific, and Denver & Rio Grande. <br /> <br />The C&NW, SP, Katy and theD&RG will get heritage units in the future months.
