The Union Pacific Railroad merged with the Chicago & North Western railroad about April 1995. Some locomotives continue to carry C&NW markings. Many freight cars continue to have C&NW reporting marks, when repainted typically keeping their C&NW reporting mark and number, while acquiring a UP logo.
In December 1999 the Union Pacific began assigning the reporting mark UPY to their yard locomotives, while continuing to use UP for road locomotives. The goal is to retain 4-digit locomotive numbers, with an order for 1,000 new locomotives having been recently announced.
