Title:  UP 9087 Ex-CNW 8575 C41-8
Description:  It appears UP 9087 (ex-CNW 8575) has been nearly reunpatched by NS with new numbers in place of the UP ones on the cab, new 8575 numberboards, CNW 8575 on the rear of the long hood, and the UP Shield is almost gone off the nose. Thanks to whoever reunpatched CNW 8575! It is still technically UP 9087, but that might change if it loses more UP Parts of the patch job.
