Last i knew, UP still has 3 CNW Dash-9's are ARE unpatched:thumb:. for a long time they had 4 of them, but early last year one of the LAST four CNW Dash-9's was in bad shape and went in for an overhaul, it was also painted in UP colors...now there is just 3;). :D -Deano
 
I have a photo of one patch that runs through town every once in a while and if memory serves me correct the have left two yet that run with the heritage unit..

Within the last three...four months I have seen a CNW Dash9 unit running through Northern Ohio. It was on an NS unit headed towards the "Chicago" area. Also back in the summer there was a CNW, SP, DRGW, BN Exec, UP, and CSX lash up in Cleveland near 200th street refueling terminal. God, if i had had my camera that day! It was a beautiful sight! They were hauling Intermodal cars, probably to the yard near E.55th(?) I dunno, you can see it from the highway tho. Just amazing sight to see. Those units were patched tho with UP colors, except the BN..it was cool with that green, cream and red coloring.
