However, the economic downturn of late has resulted in a lot of AC power available. UP typically runs AC power on the MNYRO, shuttling several units to Glenwood Springs where they will be used as mid-train swing helpers.

I've wanted to get a shot from this perspective for awhile now, and thought UP 1989 would be the perfect candidate for the shot. What do you think of the spot?
