A new UP locomotive (likely a GEVO), represents the Boy Scouts of America. It has our current year (2010) as its engine number.

Is this going to be treated as a heritage unit?

Now that you mentioned it, UP is treating this engine as a "Community Service Locomotive" according to their Commemorative locomotives page.

Don't hate.
UP created this locomotive because the boy scouts are celebrating 100 years of their impact on the US. I know you're still gonna think it's baloney.
