Agree, it would be great! But from UP's perspective, a change would mean some extra work and paying a designer to lay out the new designs and get the colors right. I wonder who did all that work for NS? They did such a great job with their heritage locos.
Yes, a letter to UP suggesting the idea wouldn't hurt. Be sure it has no mis-spellings and no grammatical mistakes. Remember, you're asking them to do you a big favor.
