It is pretty incredible that UP's order for 1000 SD70Ms from EMD came nearly 20 years ago! With Tier-3 and Tier-4 units taking over mainline trains these days, coming across an SD70M on the mainline almost feels like a novelty. Such was the case on this Saturday when one led a four car work train east from Cliff to Bypass 1 at North Yard.
