Eastern Railroad Discussion > Are these UP SD70Ms retired & going for rehab?Date: 03/12/23 08:20 Are these UP SD70Ms retired & going for rehab? Author: JPB I listened to the NS radio around Elkhart this AM 3/12/23 but I don't recall the train symbol of this manifest exiting the east end of Elkhart Yard. But I do recall a brief convo between crew and dispatcher about a suspected H&W in their train's consist in reality being an "old locomotive". These UP SD70Ms (circa 2001) are snow covered so I'm guessing they haven't run in a awhile and are DIT. Would these units be going to some regional/short line via a reman outfit?

Apparently big power is needed to move unit grain train to NS interchange. Thanks for the pointer! |
