I saw it when it went past Spearville elevator. Got a shot with my phone.

Two brand new demos being led ironically by a predecessor engine that isn't lead qualified on the BNSF.  Interesting.

BNSF doesn't allow certain EMD 70ACe lead due to being considered too noisy. Think it was early production non isolated cab units. Not sure if the NS units is one or not.

All of NS' SD70M-2s are 'thundercabs'.
