In the following list, unit numbers in square brackets [ ] were repainted during the time period that the slogan was in use, but have not yet been confirmed as having had "We Will Deliver" applied. Since Union Pacific did not record which units carried the slogan, this listing is based entirely on actual sightings of the units.
Units that have been confirmed as having WWD are shown with an asterisk (*) and are colored yellow.
Units shown in gray and parentheses ( ) are later road numbers for units that received WWD as the earlier road number.

Note 1: UP 3074 may have received the WWD slogan after a photo taken on 7 July 1996, which shows it without WWD. Repainted, already numbered as UP 3074, ex-C&NW 6909.
Note 2: UP 2987 was reported as having the WWD slogan, but was not renumbered from C&NW 6855 until 3 March 1998, so this sighting is in question.
Two excellent sources for photos of UP units during this late 1990s time period are:
