What I've been wondering lately is why we never see any of the Heritage Diesels go out on the road??

If you are referring to the various Heritage painted diesels, the UP has, they are always "out on the road" all over the system.

If you are referring to the three executive E Units (A-B-A) and the DDA40X, those units are not conducive to hauling freight on a daily basis, plus there aren't that many folks remaining on the UP, in the shops, that know how to troubleshoot & work on them, let alone replacement specialized parts/components.
