Photo ID: 109611 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, October 8, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Brighton (8,203ft) Brighton, CO 206 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific This is my personal favorite model of any wide cab model EMD has produced to date. Not just the SD70M, but specifically the Phase 2 SD70M. It has the slightly slanted radiator intakes, similar to the SD45, but not quite as large as the SD70ACe. The original wide cab nose and tear drop windshields are also a fantastic touch. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A week later, and sister unit BNSF 8102 has joined 6705! Not sure why these units are sitting here along the Greeley Sub. They must be power share units as BNSF has no trackage rights on the Greeley Sub. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

With the closure of Burnham in Denver, no major repairs can be done in Denver. More than likely, the unit is headed to the shops there for maintenance. Incidentally, this particularly GP40-2 was originally DRGW 3119. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
