Title: UP 8444
Post by: DominicMazoch on January 29, 2009, 09:24:05 PM
Next time you do the UP SD90's, how about making one as "8444" in "Flag" colors.

In the 1960's and 70's, UP renumbered steam engine 844 as 8444 so the 44 slot could be used for a GP30.  When the loco was retired, the steamer got her number back.

It seems the 8444 is unofficially considered the "7th Heritage Unit"  In fact, it was with the other 6 in an official UP photo shoot.  would consider getting if you made one in that number.

Hi Dominic,

The 2009 catalog line-up is all set, but I will consider it for 2010.
