For much of this season, the Canyon Spirit has been running with one or two UP SD70Ms. Fortunately, RMRX 8600 now has PTC installed, and RMRX 8021 has been repaired after being involved in a collision back in May, so UP power is no longer needed. As an old school EMD fan, I love seeing a pair of spartan cab units on the Moffat.
