I think I am safe in assuming that UP 5160 has more than likely spent some time in Southern California! Tagging can happen anywhere, particularly in large cities. But most tagger seem to focus on rolling stock. But not in SoCal! In the LA-area, tagger are more than happy to go after locomotives. It is interesting this unit is on an oil train as it is an SD70M, meaning it has DC traction motors. It is quite rare to see DC traction motor units on heavy haul unit trains like coal and oil.
