What about the Bush Unit? Does count to be Heritage?

I agree with CZ, yes UP has their Heritage SD70ACe fleet, but the real Heritage units are 844, 3985, 6936, etc. UP 2001 & 2002 are still in the Winter Olympic colors but they are up for overhaul in 2010 so get them while you can. 2001 was in Northern California a few weeks back.

That blue Olympic paint still looks nice even with the dirt.  

Thanks for posting it.

 This is a blue Heritage unit from the six official Union Pacific new SD70Ace Heritage units and it was on my birthday at Colfax Ca.

The 2001 and 2002 are tracked by the Yahoo Heritage groups, but I don't believe the Union Pacific considers them as Heritage units.  Much like the 3300 painted for special service, the 2001 and 2002 pulled the Olympic train and then when into regular freight service.   The Heritage units are the six SD70Ace diesels that were painted for railroads that were purchased by the Union Pacific.

I certainly have taken pictures of the 2001 and 2002 every chance I get and they are great looking locomotives.

I consider the 844 and 3985 real Heritage units along with the E units and the 6936.   That and $1.29 will get you coffee at most ARCO's.

I was wondering it this unit still part of the UP Heritage? Can anyone tell me the total UP roster for the heritage units?
