Regarding the Fleet Site. For some reason the pages were not posting for about a day, but have returned. However, I have posted at the top of the Fleet and retired pages a direct link to the Google Drive pages. For some these may be easier to view.

Here's the same Mainline info on two pages:
https://sites.google.com/site/united...fleet-tracking
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...pxXAo/htmlview

772:
N785UA exited XMN 2135/18Jan

1st 77W N2331U (2131) ready to fly IAH - ORD as UA2120.

Departing from gate D-11 and arrive at gate C-10.

Seat map shows some seats are taken, and some are on the SBY and Upgrade list.

Guess it it is a test flight with some NRSA on board.

You are almost certainly right - ferry flight number, leaving from D-11 which is not used to board pax by UA.

Possibly some employees on board.

According to Routesonline:

Star Alliance member United Airlines within the last 20 minutes gradually updated winter 2017/18 schedule, mainly focusing on the 747-400 service retirement. Based on the current update (for the weekend of 20JAN17), United currently schedules last 747-400 service in late-October 2017.

Previously planned 747-400 service will be replaced by 777-200ER (except Shanghai by 787-9). Effective date for the replacement aircraft operation listed below is based on US departure.

eff 05OCT17
San Francisco – Shanghai Pu Dong (UA857/858; this was reflected in previous schedule update)

eff 28OCT17
San Francisco – Beijing
San Francisco – Frankfurt
San Francisco – Taipei Taoyuan
San Francisco – Tokyo Narita

eff 29OCT17
San Francisco – Seoul Incheon

Tentatively scheduled as last 747 service, the 747 departs San Francisco on 28OCT17, Seoul Incheon on 29OCT17. This is set as tentative partially due to aircraft listing discrepancy on San Francisco - Taipei Taoyuan for 27-29OCT17).

United's seasonal 747-400 San Francisco – London Heathrow operation during summer, is scheduled until 27OCT17.

Note the airline's final 747-400 scheduled service remains subject to change, pending on future delivery of 777-300ER and other aircraft type.

77W: N2331U ORD-SFO 1/23 UA2120

UA 2120 also shows SFO-EWR segment op by #77T before ORD-SFO.

Guess N2331U suppose to fly to SFO on 1/21 and fly to EWR today, but irrop on 1/21.

Guess Equipment code of 77W is 77T?

p.s. today's 2120 shows diverted to SFO, maybe N2331U was going to fly TPAC from ORD?

No it was originally scheduled to operate ORD-EWR for gate fittings at EWR but that will happen after its ETOPS validation flight (SFO-NRT-SFO) this upcoming Wednesday. And yes the fleet code will be 77T (the sub UA) ones. Haven't seen the fleet code for sub CO.
