UP 3997
Title:  UP 3997
Description:  When I saw this SD70, I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong with it. This unit was delivered new to SP but quickly received UP yellow and grey after the merger, in fact more grey than usual. Note the red seperation stripe is lower than usual giving this unit an unique touch.

UP 1626
Title:  UP 1626
Description:  A trio of units wait for a fresh crew to arrive in Peach Yard. It appears 1626 recently had some PVC pipe installed to the cab face for what I assume is drainage for the air conditioner. Perhaps later rebuilds will have painted pipework rather than bright white.

I'm sure railroad police was harassing some railfan instead of getting her off an active mainline.
