Great grab bag! The new livery on the U.P. locomotives looks great. The expansive flag on the previous iteration was frequently subject to discoloration.

Looks to have gone for a rebuilding/overhaul at the Progress Rail facility just north of Waycross. If unit was mechanically sound for operation and met current rail transport requirements movement in freight service relatively no more involved than any standard rail car, or locomotive.

I'm confused about Amtrak 164 -- P42 shown at 16:23. When I google images for Amtrak 164, it shows it having phase V livery. So how is this in 2023 and its back to phase IV? There are no special markings to suggest its has been repainted as a heritage unit. Also still has the early nose (not bolted on).

184 was put back into Phase V for something, with 164 being the eventual replacement, the scheme was first spotted on 51 - The Cardinal, on May 8th. It’s on 6 at the big 10 curve at 18:49 MDT
