If you haven't seen UP's newest "official" paint scheme yet, here it is! One thing you likely will immediately notice is that the wings have been removed from the nose in favor of the classic UP shield. My best guess is that the wings have been removed for monetary reasons, as the shield is much smaller. In any case, a pair of C44ACMs sit on the point of an eastbound passenger special, now tied down in the siding at Fraser. I was hoping for a side-by-side shot here with the eastbound Zephyr, but the Zephyr departed about 15 minutes earlier.
