Only five units of the original 279 Espee AC4400CW still wear scarlet and gray paint. All five are, of course, patched and now have UP numbers. One of those five units was the first of two DPUs on the tail end of an eastbound loaded oil train. This AC4400CW was originally SP 280. In fact, if you look closely, you can still see the outline of "280" on the cab behind the UP patch.
