And to think, they are hiring in certain areas. Ben Date: 04/08/19 08:31 Re: UP Employee Pride Unit Author: GP30Frank They could paint a GE unit , just for the heck of it !

Posted from Android Date: 04/08/19 09:41 Re: UP Employee Pride Unit Author: robj Of course their railroad but I think you can get carried away with this stuff. Then there are the likely push for lets have a "XYZ" unit.
Personally a little more pride in the every day appearance of their motive power fleet would be better. This is what the average person sees every day. I remember two days out in Caliente NV and not seeing one unit that I would consider attractive, all those American flags that looked like they were dragged through the mud. Bob Date: 04/08/19 09:47 Re: UP Employee Pride Unit Author: livesteamer I sure would like to see the UP paint up a unit as suggested by TRAINS this month to commemorate the UP119 used in the Golden Spike ceremony.
Marty Harrison Knob Noster, MO Date: 04/08/19 10:03 Re: UP Employee Pride Unit Author: tomstp Hell if they are going to do anything finish out the heritage paint jobs with the left out railroads, T&P, C&EI, Cotten Belt, etc.

That's NOTHING, compared to how much they'll vandalize the "pride unit" they paint dedicated to the Wall Street Hedge Fund Managers... Date: 04/08/19 11:16 Re: UP Employee Pride Unit Author: JoCoLB With such elaborate artwork and being different on both sides, I hope U.P. manages to keep it washed on a regular basis. I'm like some others, however. I think it will be too tempting for some vandals.
