It is amazing to see those two back together again.  I have seen the two individually but not together for about 4 years or so.  The three of them together must have been a sight to see.  I thought that '01 and '02 where suppose to get painted back, don't get me wrong I like them the way they are but I thought I heard that they were going to be yellow by now.

2002, 3300, 2001 In That Order!

Are these two units having a dispute? Here is a picture of them today seperated by a different unit (another one of a kind). But really, what is going on?

wow! what exactly is that SD40-2 painted for? I forgot Banged Head [banghead]

Also, I thought that they were going to be in Yellow by now... maybe U.P is going to stop repaints for a while..? the paintshop must be burning a hole in their budget...

I saw that thismorning! Why is UP doing these special runs. Not saying that I don't wany iy, I want more of it, but why is UP doing these?

 

3300 was painted RBW for the United Way. CPRail did the same thing, but no special colors, just some extra words, nothing like this!

FYI, 1995 is out because of air conditioner problems, same reason it wasn't leading the Olys!

Wish that consist was heading my way...
