Western Railroad Discussion > Graceful Wings!Date: 05/09/24 04:39 Graceful Wings! Author: santafe199 Say what you will about Uncle Pete’s current PR struggles (I certainly do). But at least he hasn’t been fooling around with those classic, graceful wings like he has with flags & slogans... :^)
1. UP 7703 leads a westbound grain empty at Ike, KS on April 4, 2024. Thanks for not messing with the wings! Lance Garrels santafe199  Date: 05/09/24 04:54 Re: Graceful Wings! Author: march_hare Cool shot.
How is it that the wing decals on the front of UP units seem to hold up better than the flags on the sides? Date: 05/09/24 05:20 Re: Graceful Wings! Author: redberan4449 march_hare Wrote:

The heat of the prime mover and scorching "toaster" effects of mechanical issues on many GEs and some EMDs. Date: 05/09/24 08:55 Re: Graceful Wings! Author: PHall Only problem is that the latest UP paint scheme eliminated the wings... The one thing everybody liked.
