I totally forgot about the Madera Flyer on the UP out of UP Fresno. This cab was, I'm pretty serious now...lovingly repainted in UP colors with all the trimmings: Bell and horn with auxillary reservoir, lights, etc.
Although the interior is not accessible to the operating crew, it serves as a nice looking shove car when cutting across town at Madera to serve the business park there. I was fortunate enough to catch this when it was being repainted on the RIP track at Fresno, then later in service. I also have a B&W slide of it at Merced.
There is also a well-graffitied San Joaquin Valley RR cab (ex-SP bay window) drifting around the Bakersfield area.
