Nostalgia & History > They Were New Back ThenDate: 03/15/19 05:49 They Were New Back Then Author: CNW8531 A matched set of new SD70M's heads up westbound IG2OA-27 at M.P. 7.5 on the Clinton sub near Low Moor, Iowa on 02/27/02. I would say it's the very first trip west for these new engines and they don't look half bad when clean.

Date: 03/15/19 14:18 Re: They Were New Back Then Author: TheNavigator Beautiful! Too bad the frame stripe had to later change from red to yellow.
GK Date: 03/15/19 17:05 Re: They Were New Back Then Author: Milwaukee Hard to believe those units are 17 years old now. They look amazing in that photo.

According to info on Don Strack's excellent Utahrails site, those units were delivered to UP the prior day, 2/26/02. The first flagged/flared SD70Ms (4735 and 4736) had been delivered 1/27/02, so yes, that is a very early shot of the flagged/flared SD70Ms. (And I'll agree that they looked better with the red sill stripe) |
