The paint scheme on UP 7265 looks quite good, and I wish UP had go with this for the new standard rather than the scheme they have adopted in 2023 that removes the wings from the nose and places a flag on the sides of the nose.

Photo ID: 110270 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, February 6, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Chemical (MP 14.5) Arvada, CO 132 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific When I first saw UP 9603 through the viewfinder, I was a bit surprised as I was pretty sure this fell in the number range of the few C44-9Ws that UP has on the roster. I wondered what a DC unit was doing on an oil train. Then, I noticed the cabinet behind the cab on the conductor's side. That long cabinet is where the DC/AC power inverters are located. Turns out this unit is a rebuild! It was originally a C44-9W, rebuilt as a C44ACM. In fact, this unit was originally SP 8139.
