Railroad photograph
Photo by: Kevin Morgan
At first glance, there is nothing overly spectacular about this shot and ordinarily I wouldn't have posted it. However...note the lead swing helper. It is an SD70ACe! It is extremely rare to find an SD70ACe on a UP coal train. I had my 300mm lens on and didn't notice the unit in time to switch to my 28-135mm lens and a better roster shot.
