There are many Chicago and North Western locomotives still in revenue service with railroads such as the Union Pacific Railroad, and some older and special locomotives have been donated to parks and museums, or continue operating on scenic or tourist railroads. Most of the engines now in use with Union Pacific have been "patched", where the C&NW logos on the sides are replaced by a Union Pacific shield, and new numbers are applied over the old numbers with a Union Pacific sticker, however some engines remain in Chicago and North Western "yellow and green" paint. The last remaining Union Pacific diesel engines (GE C44-9Ws #8646 and #8701) still in Chicago and North Western colors were stored at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois before being repainted into UP colors.
