List of UP locomotives with special paintwork

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of UP locomotives with special paintwork contains an overview of the locomotives that have been given a special paintwork by the Union Pacific Railroad on special occasions .

In contrast to the normal color scheme of the locomotives of the Union Pacific Railroad , various diesel locomotives were given a different paintwork from 1991.

The first major campaigns with a special paint job on locomotives took place in 1996 and 2001 for the special trains for transporting the Olympic flame to the competition venues.

In 2005 and 2006, six locomotives were given paintwork that was based on the color schemes of predecessor companies of the Union Pacific. The locomotives were selected whose operating number corresponds to the year in which the respective company was taken over.
