Has anyone had a run in

With any patriotic locomotives? (EX Conrail 6707, UP Flag Engines). I had one recently, I was riding MARTA (Atlanta GA Subway system) to the intenational car show. On the way there we stop close to a place where intermodal car are loaded and unloaded0, a UP Flag AC4400 was there. It was an awsome sight to see.
