Union Pacific 1996 is a SD70ACe locomotive owned by Union Pacific Railroad (UP). It is the sixth locomotive to receive a commemorative paint scheme in honor of UP's predecessor railroads as part of UP's "Heritage Series". It was unveiled on August 19 2006, and is currently operating in regular revenue service. Its paint scheme is based on the Daylight and "Black Widow" paint schemes of the Southern Pacific Railroad.

Southern Pacific 6051, a Daylight-painted EMD E9 locomotive that is preserved at the California State Railroad Museum was in attendance at UP 1996's unveiling.

This road number was previously held by an SD40-2, originally UP 3339, which was repainted and renumbered for the 1996 Olympics.
