Southern Pacific SD70Ms

How many SD70Ms are still in Southern Pacific paint? The ones in patches count as well. At least its not as bad as 100% Amour Yellow.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELVIS

Terry,
I hate to be breear of bad news but the last one in full SP markings has been patched but some are still in SP paint with UP Markins.

John

At least there are some AC44's that are still in original SP paint and have not been patched.

Right thier is as well as Dash 9's.

John

I must also say the SP paint scheme is easier on the eyes, lmao.

I have some good news and bad news- While chasing a northbound coal drag on the Mt. Vernon Sub this morning, led by UP 6763 and 7130, on the end pushing was unpatched, non Armour Yellow SP 248! The bad news- unfortunately I could not capture the moment on video, as the battery on my camcorder went south... damn.

At least you had the pleasure of seeing it. Now if we can just download that mental image . . .

I guess this doesn't count, but back in November I captured a southbound coal drag on the Chester Sub at Johns Spur, with patched SP/UP 6369 (ex SP 323) acting as DPU. Patched to the nines I might add...

Kinda unfair, huh?
Oh well, at least there's next time... BTW here's that unit in question...

Yes it is. I am sorry to hear your batteries died that's happened to me before.

John

Oh, no problem. I told my mom about it (it's actually her camcorder) and she went online and ordered a new battery. I'll be up and shooting again in no time!

I know there are AC4400CWs and Dash 9-44CWs in Southern Pacific paint, but what about SD70Ms in Southern Pacific paint with Union Pacific patches?

It being the Chester Sub, the chances of seeing a patched SD70M are probably pretty big... unfortunately i'm not there enough to see.

Thanks for the good news. keep asking keep learning

There are no Dash 9's left, SP 8192 was the last one and has been gone since 2002 or 2003

Like emd_SD_60 I always enjoyed the scarlet and grey. The tunnel motors as well.

Does anybody here have any pictures of the AC44's in Southern Pacific colors? I would enjoy viewing them.
