There is an NS "catfish", a KCS SD70ACe, and a rather rare gray KCSM AC4400CW. The gray KCSM unit has been significantly tagged and is looking a bit grungy.

Two dozen SD70MACs had some electronic equipment upgraded, were repainted, and received the "e" suffix on the model. Not sure exactly what, electronically, was upgraded. But it is nice seeing the latest scheme on an SD70MAC. The train is pulling by the old "Chem Spur", which hasn't been used in about a decade.
