    When 1996 first hit the rails there was a lot of criticism from railfans about the paint job. Personally, I like it a lot. Thanks for catching the 1996. :tb-biggrin:

    Same here. That paint scheme really looks good.

    I was always under the assumption that UP had the heritage units as the lead units on trains to show them off.

    Not always.. Thats why this year I've been somewhat hesitant to make the hour drive to the Geneva Sub.. I didn't always know if they are in the lead.

    Today I just said "screw it Im gonna go"
