    Hope you can help. Was in PA last month for vacation. This photo was taken (timetable) east of Conway yard, north of Pittsburgh. No marking except the spray painted number; no stencils that I could see.

    Looks to be a new SD70-2. Not really current on new locos.

    This was taken as the train was being inspected by RR Police and local PD in regards to reports of a "trespasser".

    Thanks

    By the looks of the cab it is a 8424.What ever road is getting the new SD70m-2's in that road number sequence is the proud owner.

    It's an SD70ACe, rumored to become the UP Rio Grande commerative unit. Of particular interest are the recessed sand fillers, an option only seen previously on the BHP Billiton SD70ACes
