I got the word on them. No, I did not get any pics. The east bound leaves Roper at night. and the west bound comes in the evening. Just about have to head to Helper to get any. Don't get out much in the summer. Just too darn hot to run around in a non-A/C truck. Wait until next month. I will be out in full force http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif.

The "zip" trains come through "Junction" in
the daylight hours. I can't believe I missed
the winged SD70s running thru here-AAUUGGHH!
Bet they looked nice............

I feel the same way, but once that order is filled for those units i think they'll soon become passe...

Well, it finally had to happen!
I was helping my model RR club transport our
HO and N scale modules to our new club building (which we recently got the OK from the building inspector to move into), and was
heading along I-70 Business Loop here in town, when I spot the Z-DVRO sitting at East Yard, headed up by SD70M 4012 and 4152 (wild guess on numbers). That lightning stripe job
with the gray looks nice! They were waiting for the E/B Beansniff freight to move through, and that train was running on the yellow blocks of a recently departed coal train, with 6 units, all GE ACss, and 3 in DPU mode.
It's nice to see UP bring back the winged logo......need to thin up the white outline,
but otherwise it's all right.
