UP 8292 a Winged SD9043AC is headed your way! It departed Cheyenne,Wy at 16:11 supposed to arrive in Bakersfield on the 8th @ 22:25 just wanted to let you guys know. -RichC44AC
Just a correction to the original post-I passed by the UP Bakersfield Yard on my way to work this morning (a normal commute route for me), and found UP 8292 there which is an SD9043MAC in standard paint without wings. I believe UP 8232 is the SD90 with wings, which is where you may have been mistaken.

I'm not saying that other SD90/43ACs do not have wings, but this is the only one I have seen in that paint.
Scott is correct, the 8242 is the SD90MAC with wings. There may be more, but that is the one I remembered (8292, 8232, 8242, there's just too many twos). I made my post hastily at work before doing research. I probably should have waited until I had all the facts before replying My apologies for my mis-information.
