Well, I have not seen anything on this so far, so I'm just going to drop the hammer hard and fast

Union Pacific 3300 (the United Way unit) was spotted in the 10th street yard in Denver today (by me) from the Light Rail, on the deadline, heavily vandalized and grafittied to a wonderful new color of the local gangs signs !*lho*! .

So, UP restores a Big Boy, and looks to be scrapping out 3300.

Oh no.. *!sad!* Why can`t the one of a kind units be on an ( special unit, last forever/donation list ) ? I know there are costs involved but of all the thousands of engines running around on the various roads, they cant save at least one of them?

Umm... you know that its the paint scheme, not the hardware which is unique? I am sure if UP wants to sponsor the United Way again we will see it on a newer engine.
