UP SD70ACe 8317. This unit wasn't actually on IAIS rails, but had been delivered to UP the month before I model, and sister 8377 came to the IAIS a couple months later. SD70ACes have really grown on me, though, so I wanted to have one on the layout. I substituted this for the second UP SD70M that was paired with UP 4206 above on the EB van train. By: Joe Atkinson
