Unless something changed recently, I think the symbol is ZG2BRB from Global 2 to Brooklyn (Portland OR).

Why paint up a SD70M when they more newer engines?
Where will this engine be assigned to?

From the looks of it, an early morning arrival im Portland.  SNAFU!!  At lest she will be spending a little time with us.  I jsut hope they set her up for decent photography.  Or at least half way decent!  Went to that UP thing in Salt Lake City many years ago and it was a bitter disappointment to say the least.

Bush senior unit was!

At least the ORHC is more railfan oriented than other places.
