UP cleaned every nook and cranny on UP 5898, which is wearing UP's new official paint scheme, for it to lead this passenger special which includes "C-Level" managers from Union Pacific. As you can see, the new paint scheme has removed the wings from the nose, and moved the American flag from the long hood to the nose. While I do not know the reasons for the changes, I would speculate that this new scheme is a little less expensive, with a smaller American flag and no wings on the nose to contend with.
