As long as we're in the realm of fantasy football here, the most delicious
irony would be to do one up in some imaginary UPD&G scheme. For those who don't
know, that's "Union Pacific Denver and Gulf," an 1890s-era predecessor of the
Colorado and Southern. As you can imagine, that railroad had some pretty
florid, late-Victorian heraldry. Put it on one of the BNSF units - maybe on
something kinda old, used in switching service - and operate it where the line
crosses or runs parallel and close to the real Union Pacific. Get'em good &
mad.
