UP's Engine 4141

  • I read in the paper today about UP painting an engine to imitate the look of air force one in honor of the first president Bush. Has anyone seen any pictures of it? I would like to see a picture of it.

    I wonder how UP can use the Seal Of The President Of The United States? Isn't that some type of infringement? Maybe Boeing should get them for using the official Air Force One colors? Seems like they want their cake and to eat it too.

    Personally, I think UP SUCKS!! I thought they did before all this silly crap they're pulling.

    Just my 2ยข

  • I like the paint, hope that I may get to see the unit one day.
  • Thank You for the link, I like the paint job. To tell the truth I just like trains.[(-D][(-D][(-D]
  • UP probably had to obtain appropriate permission to use the Seal of the President of the United States. This is not unlike the fact that Canadian Pacific had to obtain Royal Assent for the crowns on Royal Hudsons 2820-2865.
