[gaycowboy31]

@crazyrailfan that ex Pc GP40 was used to switch out the private railcar I was on last year at KC union station I was suprised as hell to see it pull up and couple to the rear of our car I got several shats of it

[Aero203]

[dukeman2106]

We as in CSX

[dukeman2106]

I agree with trainutjob, I think we should have some chessie locos painted... That scheme would look good on an es44dc!

[MoPacBoy]

I love it my favorite herritage unit!

[JoJoJopete]

It's a shame there are no units painted for various railroads like an ex-Conrail unit being painted for the PRR.

[bnsf4]

[RyanSamuelBarry]

lol nice bro

[GP9railfan]

Wow!!! Friendly engineer, & cool train! I wish more railroads would paint up some heritage units.

[ballparkfrank10]

[trainutjob]

[cifn2]

2nd Unit's Conductor side door was open, someone had been in there.

What is a shave and a haircut?

[SPGP60]

shave and a haircut is basically a small series of short blasts on the whistle. Supposedly it goes to the rhythm of "Shave and a haircut, two bits."

[fxe4500]

yeah!!! great video!!! congratulations!!!

[railfanner91019]

ooooh was that a shave and a haircut

[Treyvs]

Yes

[railfanner91019]

nice

[trainboy94]

Is the MoPac your favorite railroad? hence the "Oh Yeah Baby!" because MoPac is my favorite railroad! if you want check out my MoPac tribute video.

[Treyvs]

lol no, it was a heritage unit so no matter what heritage unit it is it gets me excited.

[trainboy94]

okay

[gaycowboy31]

@trainboy94 it certainlly is one of my favorites I grew up on the old Mopac(former T&P) mainline I also saw MKT everyday as they ran that line to Kansas City I was happy as hell at first to see the UP I assumed runthrough power later I learned Mopac and MKT was no more and that upset me now its just boreing UP yellow nowdays here with KCS on the other side of town

[texasmane2006]

@trainboy94 Long live the MoPac!!! Im glag they brought it back out

[norfolkdash9]

Is there only 1 of those engines?

[Mopac92]

theres only one engine painted the same as that one.. but UP has a total of 6 engines with a special paint job.

[norfolkdash9]

So theres 2 of those engines?

[Treyvs]

There is only 1 engine in the Missouri Pacific Paint, but UP has 5 others in other Heritage paints. SP, MKT, DRGW, WP, and CNW

[norfolkdash9]

Kinda confusing but OK

[Linkdude678]

Man that is an awesome catch Chuck! I hope I can see UP 4141 soon, because I think it was on a business train around Staunton, IL a week ago.

[NicTrain35]

How totally AWESOME!! I lived for a while in Texas very close to the old Missouri Pacific & Texas Pacific RR (now of course UP). Great to see the old MoPac blues with the big Eagle symbol other than in pics of the old classic railroads!! They called it "The Route of the Eagles"! How great-- you just really made my day!!!

[trainboy94]

Sweet! 1982 is my favorite heritage unit. even though you have only seen this unit in person what's your favorite heritage unit?

[Treyvs]

Hmm, thats a good question...Id have to see em all in person to decide.

[cifn2]

Hmmm I like 1996, and 1995, and also the 4141 its tough...

[trainboy94]

Awesome catch & engineer. I've yet to see one of these guys but the only UP I see in these parts is run through intermodel so I'd be suprised if I get one down here in the south.
