    Yikes! Be very careful, Jerry! You scratch that paint or get them dirty and they might not let you play with their shiny toys any more. :uhoh:

    This is the 5th SD70ACe coming to the ATN. This would be a good one for Kato too, Caterpillar Yellow.

    The guys up here say it's a special (shipped wrapped in blue tarps) http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=407208&nseq=4 ...Secret paint job for the Cat display @ MINEexpo 2012, September 24th thru 26th, in Las Vegas. Haven't so far seen any actual photos...the available appears to be a rendering. Bob C.

    Been busy at work testing the SD70ACe's round the clock, but enjoying every minute of it! These locomotives are awesome! Here at 0130 in Birmingham checking paperwork before departing.
