One of the biggest complaints about the paint scheme UP has used for the last quarter century is very clearly demonstrated in this shot. The flag that UP added to the long hood, when not properly maintained, can get pretty ragged. In the case of this SD70ACe, it has been largely burned off the long hood. That's likely one of the reasons UP has moved the flag to the sides of the nose with their latest scheme.
