Brian in Keizer Posted from iPhone Date: 07/19/18 21:59 Re: UP 3613 on the point Author: CBRL Thanks, everyone! I have been on the lookout for one ever since I started seeing pictures of them in Southern California. I am curious if they were rebuilt in any way when painted - maybe someone could chime in. I wonder if they recovered the horns they stole from the 9043MACs in Dunsmuir.
Tom Trent Eugene, OR Date: 07/19/18 22:04 Re: UP 3613 on the point Author: FiestaFoamer They may have gotten wings medallions, but they weren’t repainted (or rebuilt afaik). Kind of unique on UP in that regard; most models only get wings during a trip through the paint booth.
Posted from iPhone Date: 07/20/18 07:48 Re: UP 3613 on the point Author: alto_towerbob I may be completely incorrect, but I kinda recall a discussion one time which stated that the wings were applied (without repainting) to signify those UP SD90/43ac units that had the truck sideframe overhauls done to them. Again, I might be wrong...
Bob Date: 07/20/18 21:53 Re: UP 3613 on the point Author: dash944cw Looks like the "early, non-lightning bolt" paint scheme and that Harbor Mist gray looks kinda faded, eh?

It seems most of all UP locos that go into storage, seem to get a wash prior. They sit clean, then start fading. Just about every 90 I've seen has this look, as well as most previously stored SD60M's and some Dash-9's. Clean, faded, and often graffitied. |
