Hello all.
A British enthusiast and from many visits to Las Vegas have managed to get a good few locomotives of the UP fleet there among some more rare visitors from other operators, older types and what used to be Southern Pacific. I saw 6248 in this guise back in March and am curious as to how many still fly the fallen Southern Pacific flag of this company? Across this class; I'm back to the USA again in 2018 and if enough are left I'll try and find another for a photo before Little Rock's paint spree gets them all. The question is how many are left? I have a list below looking at recent photos of those that have carried the livery and their most recent photos shows them as still in Southern Pacific. Can anyone add or indeed report if any of the below now carry Union Pacific livery or if I have missed any of the type still in Southern Pacific? A big ask but I figured someone may well know?
I have the following possible 63 examples still in it; how many survive?
6149, 6150, 6156, 6169, 6172, 6183, 6187, 6192, 6194, 6208, 6213, 6215, 6216, 6219, 6228, 6229, 6236, 6243, 6426, 6248 ,6255, 6257, 6259, 6262, 6270, 6272, 6290, 6295, 6298, 6307, 6310, 6311, 6318, 6319, 6321, 6322, 6331, 6340, 6345, 6355, 6358, 6359, 6362, 6365, 6367, 6370, 6374, 6378, 6379, 6380, 6383, 6392, 6394, 6398, 6400, 6401, 6403, 6406, 6408, 6411, 6415, 6424 all patched with just SP319 unpatched.
Any assurance is appreciated.
For what it's worth on a different note UP 7076 is my username as it's one I have seen twice! Not bad from visiting from the UK once a year. If smaller GE builds are of interest we have those in the U.K. And I can gladly assist with any stuff built in the USA now over here.
Thanks.
