That picture at Woodford is taken at one of my favorite locations. The 4852 sure does look like the old SP locomotive type weathering from tunnels and the lack of washing. Maybe it is a SP Heritage.

This is the 1995 late yesterday evening at the Antelope overpass, west end of the yard leads at Roseville, Ca.
Awesome! Great Photos! UP4852 remind me SP old days with their dirty locomotives. I think there's a hint..

Awesome
It does remind us of the SP days.
Those tunnels from LA to Portland are still working to weather the locomotives as they did for the SP.
Thanks for the pictures Cajon.
This is the 1995 eastbound into Roseville 2/10/2010 late evening.
This is sort of old now but earlier in February UP 1996 made it's first run over Tehachapi in 2010. UP 1996 was running second back on the ILBOA-02 which boasted an impressive 8 car consist. Sadly a dirty UP SD70M (4852) was on the point : ( still a nice day for pictures.
Not to be out done by the ILBOAs length the ZMOLAZ-02 with UP 7623 on the point leads a 3 car train past 1996 which is holding at Ansel, CA north of Rosemond-
Woodford-
Passing through downtown Caliente-
Awesome! Another old heritge from a fallen flag!

Oh, that's just beautiful! I seriously think a couple of tears were shed when I saw this.
She is a Former PRR Unit that is her as built Number. As we would say in the Muscle car her Numbers Match. Her frame Number Matches what EMD says her Unit Number should be.
Very Nice! I got to see them when they were new. Is this a real PRR Heritage or a replacement?? I noticed it has a freight pilot and the PRR units I saw had the passenger type pilot, but it does have the radio antenna.
Awesome!For sure UP won't do the Obama Locomotive like the bush 4141
For sure UP won't do the Obama Locomotive like the bush 4141
Uh, have they ever done a locomotive for a sitting president? Did Reagan or Clinton even get one? And does UP have a George W Bush 4343 loco planned?
Of course, now that (Obama supporter) Warren Buffett owns BNSF, they'll probably get to do an Obama locomotive when the time comes.
I took a few pictures of the UP 1982 & 1996 at Bryan, TX
UP 1996
CAZEPHYR Metro Red Line You know what would be cool? Because the Heritage series SD70ACe locos and the other specially-painted engines are such hits with railfans and modelers alike, I'd like to see UP specially paint locos for each state in the union that the railroad operates in - for example a "California" loco, a "Nebraska" loco, a "Utah" loco, etc. It would be a perfect fit for its "Building America" branding campaign. Maybe number the locos the year they entered the union. Sounds like a good idea to me, but you should email your thoughts to the Union Pacific Public Relations Department. They might consider the idea but would probably limit their states to the ones they operate in normally. CZ

Great Idea!
Tugboat Tony Thanks for the info on the other UP5511. I didn't know they had any other steam engines besides the UP844, and UP3985

They have the 838 also in the roundhouse It has been used for parts over the years to keep the 844 running, but it is still around.
Awesome! CSSHEGEWISCH UP 96 may be the steam shop switcher but it's also a product of the SW10 rebuilding program by UP, which gives it its distinctive "hammerhead" appearance. I thought it look like Mahi-Mahi!

Most of the SW10's were rebuilds from SW7's and SW9's, which date back to about 1950 or so.
This is the 1995 as a DPU southbound at Roseville today near the Y.
Awesome! http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=279573&nseq=6 I just found the SW10 #96 but I don't understand why a switcher becomes heritage? There's other switchers...

Well I'm not sure of the hole back stroy behind #96, but it is used to switch the steam shops in Cheyenne, WY. It's also used to pull 844 & 3985 out before fully fired up.
Cajon_92 Awesome! Cajon_92 Top notch shots CZ. 1995 seems to be spending much more time in California as well as the western part of the US the last few months, especially when compared to 2006- early 2009. I caught 1995 several times in Cajon over the summer and more recently in San Timoteo Canyon w/ 1996. I included a picture of 1995 at Pine Lodge, CA back on 7/28/2009, on the KG1LA-26. Cajon I thought UP has a same color locomotive with the Operation livesaver. Does anyone have the road number? I believe the engines that you are refering to are the former C&NW AC4400s. UP 1995 is the C&NW heritage unit, but these units were purchsed by C&NW and carried the OLS decals on them, after UP bought the C&NW in 1995 some of the units were repainted (over time) however some stayed in C&NW colors w/the OLS decals. They are all patched at this time and wear #s: UP 6703-6737 former C&NW 8801-8835. Below is a picture I took of the final unit UP 6737 on the Oak Creek lead west of Mojave, CA by the Oak Creek-Portland Cement Co. cement plant in April 2009. Cajon

I found this inventory about the heritage units. I never heard about #96 ? Does anyone has a picture?
Yes all of the OL UP units are ex CNW. There is one unit painted full colors not sure what the number is.
Cajon_92 Tugboat Tony What 5011 (5511?) are you talking about? the UP5011 is a plain jane SD70, and the 5511 is a C45? or did some other road paint up heritage units? Yes currently UP 5511 is a C45ACCTE (pictured below at Cameron,CA) but as seen on page 1 of this thread UP 5511 was once a 2-10-2. This 2-10-2 is still kept at Union Pacific's steam shops in Cheyenne, WY but isn't operational (2 my knowledge) and it may be being used for parts just like UP 838 is being used for. From recent pictures I've seen 5511 still looks good sitting in the steam shops. Cajon

Nice picture of the present day 5511.
This is the 5511 in the remaining portion of the roundhouse at Cheyenne.
