    Bob, isn't that a Borg-Patch number at the lower right of the cab, just above the frame?
    Sure looks kinda yellow to me.....:tb-hissyfit:

    Bob, nice catch. I wish I could see that out here, but it is all yellow, Amtrak, & ACE.

    No, that's a hatch off of another UP diesel. It still sports the original number.

    Nice catch Bob. Every now and again I can catch an old unpatched SP switcher in the Tucson yard. I'll have to go out again soon and see what I can see.
    Thanks for sharing

    Nice catch! The only SP units I've seen have been SDs.
