I just call it a “what if” because the 3 on order by the SP were not completed until just after the merger (like right after) and their paint scheme was changed to UP prior to delivery. I believe I read somewhere that at least 1 unit had been painted in SP gray and was in the masking process for the scarlet nose and end. So, “what if” the merger happened 2 months later? We probably would’ve seen them as patched UP units for a few years. I still see a few AC4400’s in the scarlet and gray.
