What is going on with the wings on the front of UP's locomotives? At first I thought it was only the SD70M, then came the SD90MAC and the AC4400. Then I saw a photo of a GP40-2 (I think, it is a little blury) at a local hobby shop. And today when I was going trough town I saw a Dash 9 with the wings and I think it was a Dash 8 or 7 with a standard cab with little wings. Is UP putting them on every locomotive they repaint? Comments please
The answer is no. They let a few out by mistake. The only units getting them are the new ones. Here is a list of some of them. Don Strack has more on his site. Wings/Flares/Flags/Fire Screens
