Just a heads up, Jason Hope you get to see it! -Mark http://www.geocities.com/fuzzybroken http://www.nrg.to/fuzzyworld -Fuzzy Fuzzy World 3 Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Monday, April 11, 2005 11:37 AM [?]so did they repaint UP 3300 or what if so whats the new scheme look like [?] Reply Edit Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Monday, April 11, 2005 2:51 PM Like I said I am new, so when I seen this trian I was a little surprised so when I got home I wanted to find out more on it and seen some pics. Every pic I seen had the United way banner on it and the train I seen had Lincoln Pacific instead. But everything else looked the same. So it was exciting to see and also be able to learn that most have seen it as the United way UP. Being a newbie to this compared to others on here. Just thought I would post on it mabey get some responses. Also when I seen it was the 2nd unit of 3. I read Train Mag every month and some of the lingo will take a learning curve for me. Mabey some suggestions on a good railroad 101 type book I can get to better my knowledge. I tend to enjoy the frieght trains more so than the passenger trains in my area. But the biggest thrill I get out of it is I got started in railfanning as a result of my 5yo son and his passion for trains. So I always have wiling to go with me and learn what I missed growing up myself.

Like I said I didnt see the United Way banner mabey its something they change. It definately had Lincoln Pacific. Mabey this is something they put on for my area(Illinois). Thanks all for insight Reply Edit broncoman Member sinceFebruary 2003 From: Gateway to Donner Summit 434 posts Posted by broncoman on Monday, April 11, 2005 9:58 PM Speaking of UPs cool color combinations does anyone know or have seen if the 2 SD70ms painted for the Olympic torch trains have been painted yellow yet. Last time I saw them was 5/03 and 7/03 2001 and 2002 I think. Thanks Dave Reply Join our Community! Our community is FREE to join. To participate you must either login or register for an account.
