Photo ID: 108158 Date Shot Photo By Monday, June 1, 2020 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 408 Sidney, NE 669 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Sidney (UP) Union Pacific One of my absolute favorite (more modern) engines is the SD70M Phase 2. The Phase 2 is my favorite in particular because the radiator intakes are angled out slightly. Not as much as an SD45, but more than an SD70M Phase 1. In addition, the teardrop windshield is in place and the original EMD wide cab looks great before the new nose introduced in the Phase 3 (and subsequently on SD70ACes).

Such is the case of Union Pacific as a string of 40 to 50 SD70Ms are currently being stored in the small yard in Sidney, NE along the Overland.

Former BNSF SD40-2s, the units are now lettered for PRLX, which is Progress Rail Services, the company that rebuilt them. Not sure why they would have fresh BNSF paint but be lettered PRLX. Regardless, here they sit! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
