It is taking several minutes for the unit to fully warm up and, as a result, a lot of white exhaust is currently being produced. Also of note in this shot in UP 1019, a GP60. For whatever reason, UP seems to utilize GP60s in California and Texas quite a bit. They don't show up in Colorado all that often.

Many of them, including dozens of SD70Ms, are currently stored at 36th Street Yard in Denver. The units are waiting for one of three things. To just be reactivated and put back in service, to be rebuilt and put back in service, or be sold. Until one of those three things happens, here they will sit quietly and wait.
