CN 8878 makes a rare appearance in Colorado, bringing up the tail end of an eastbound coal load. At first glance, you might (reasonably) assume that this is an SD70ACe. However, it is actually an SD70M-2. Noteworthy as this unit has DC traction motors...something that is almost never heard of on coal trains.
