Are you sure that the lead unit is a Rock Island heritage paint job? I think that if you do a little checking you'll find out that it is actually the heritage unit for the MKT. But this brings up the question why doesn't the UP have a heritage unit for the R.I.? Maybe because the R.I. had already been "absorbed" by other rr's (CNW, etc.) before the UP took over those roads. Just thinking out loud.

Thanks for heads up. Thats what happens when I think I am doing it right and turns out wrong. For some reason I have consistently called the MKT unit the "Rock Island" unit. The big star should have tipped me off.
