I don't think the UP likes to have its specially-painted locmotives off the property. And I'm sure they wouldn't want to anything to do with helping Amtrak.Since they pick up and drop off so many scouts who are going to/from Philmont........

Fredericksberg, VA., is way far from any UP line. As a previous poster said, they like to keep the Heritage/special paint job locos on their own lines. A photo in a Boy Scout publication or website would get the word on the loco around to Boy Scouts. Do they still publish Boy's Life magazine? Back in the stone age, I had a subscription to Boy's Life and really enjoyed it, even though I was never a Scout.They should have used it to pull a trainloads of Boy Scouts and their leaders (Scouters) to the National Jamboree near Fredericksberg Va. Pretty sure UP has enough cars and/or borrow some to do that. As is I will bet over 90 per cent of those involved in Scouting have no idea this paint job exists.
