Hello,

Are there any Southern Pacific SD70M's that are still in the UP "patched" scheme or have they all been repainted?

Thanks,

Sean

If there are any "patched" SD70M's, they're probably very few of them that are left, and are most likely roaming the western part of the country, haven't seen any here in the midwest lately. Most of them have been repainted by now, and all 25 units have been (or will be) renumbered for UP in the 3974-3999 series (number 3985 not used, reserved for the 4-6-6-4 Challenger steam locomotive...)

I believe the ex-SP units have just undergone their first major (Class C) overhaul and were repainted in the process.
