While waiting for the big day, the six Heritage Units (along with UP 8444) sit near the wye track at the Intermodal Facility around Midnight. Great to see how shiny they are after one to two years in active service!

Along with the six Heritage Units that appeared at the reunion in Salt Lake City, UP 8444 made an appearance too. It's no coincidence that, of all the SD70ACe's on the roster, UP 8444 was the one to make the trip. For many years, UP's steam engine 844 (a 4-8-4) was numbered UP 8444 due to a GP30 holding the number 844. When the GP30 was retired, the steam engine was changed back to UP 844, opening a spot on the roster for this SD70ACe!

Ever wondered just which parts of a UP unit are reflective? The question is answered here as I used my flash to light up the decals on UP 8444. I think the flag looks particularly cool, hovering in the dark!

UP 1996 probably has more reflective decals on it than any of the other Heritage Units. Gives it a bit of a cool look though, as seen here in this shot.

In this shot of UP 1995, the CNW Heritage Unit, the flash highlights the reflective decals. I particularly think the green decals make this unit particularly attractive after dark.

I learned recently that the four strips along the back of the Rio Grande Heritage Unit were something of a last minute decision. A good decision they were too! Here, you can see the decals on UP 1989 that respond brightly to a flash!

The Katy rests in the dark but shows off her stuff with a reflection of a flash. The Katy is the favorite Heritage Unit of many fans, perhaps because of its relative simplicity in design and powerful color.

A good way to see the feather along the side of the Western Pacific heritage unit is with a flash at night! The orange feather appears clearly up the side of the unit. Looks like the strips on the nose might need a bit of a cleaning!

I think the design of the Western Pacific along the long hood might be the best of any of the Heritage Units. The feather is perfect for the Feather River Route and breaks up the two-tone of the unit very well.
