CNW 8701
Author: WLE2679

Hello-

I live in the east, but saw that that this unit was rumored to be stored in Houston in the near future.....is there any truth to that?   Since this unit has mostly been in Chicago with the other dash 9 that will never be repainted, it seemed a little surprising. ​

If they brought it to Little Rock we wouldnt call it CNW 8701 anymore.

Both of the CNW units were overhauled at Jenks Shop 6 or 7
years ago.  All the shop did after the overhauls was touch up
the green and yellow.

Don't believe it?  Look at the color of the roof hatches on the exCXNW
Dash 9's and AC4400's that got overhauled and patched, but not painted.

These engines are under strict instructions to never be repainted or renumbered.    Hopefully that person standing by that is still with UP.

That's whom I understand to be behind it. My info is second-hand, but from inside the company.
