It's been confirmed by UP that the two SD70ACe's are painted in MoPAC and WP. Should be cool to see them unvieled.

One of the articles stated, these are the first of four of the heritage series. Two more units are being tracked that were delivered in primer.

Any speculation???? The first two are subnumbered 1982 and 1983 for the year the WP and the MP were merged.

The SP was in 1996 and the C&NW was in 1988???

The new units will probably end up wearing the merge year numbers much like the 2001 and 2002 blue SD70M Olympic units.

Let's hope Tower 55 will build them.

Hmm...A return to silver trucks and fuel tank..should be interesting to see what is under those blue tarps. Regardless of how you paint a modern diesel it will still resemble a microwave in a fancy box, just the same, its good to see UP garner some positive exposure.

Hmmm, the black and yellow pilot plow is new.

What does the UP "Heritage" paint look like? Does it have the flag on the side? If it does, I recall that being the "Building America" paint scheme.

We don't know what they look like, because they are covered up. No information has been given out about these units. Take a look here:

People are also saying that these might be military units...only time will tell. We will find out on Saturday.
