Union Pacific "Patch Job" Renumbered Locomotives
This page was last updated on February 19, 2001 (will not be updated)
Total: 86 units (80 confirmed)
This is a list of UP locomotives that have been temporarily renumbered by applying a yellow patch on the cab side, and their new numbers applied on the yellow patch. A small UP shield has been applied to the front of the low nose. Each unit retains its original owner's full colors, i.e., C&NW yellow and green, SP/SSW gray and scarlet, or D&RGW black and orange.
This list does not show units that are already painted yellow, since the yellow patch used to renumber a unit would not be readily apparent on a yellow unit.
This list is compiled from information furnished by Union Pacific, along with actual sightings furnished by Richard Barnes, Gary Binder, Joseph Belote, Eric Cook, Lon Coone, Craig Douglas, Neil Gross, Steve Hart, Brad Hoeme, Tony Johnson, K. J. Larson, Lon Lasher, Nelson Lunt, Tony Madieros, Craig Rutherford, Dan Sorce, Robert Souder, Jay Tatum, Scott Thomas, Mike Tierney, and Paul Wester. Thanks to all of you for your help. A special thanks to Dave Kingsbury and George Poindexter for their help in getting this list started.
