I heard one of the new SD70ACe is tested on UP on a train to North Platte. They were there yesterday. And might be heading to Chicago next. Has anyone seen or heard anything.

If it was GM 70, it was in Pueblo Colorado last week. It had been out at the
Transportation Test Center testing. We interchanged it to the UP and they
took it north.

Yeah, i just answered my own question. Today at work, i was outside having a smoke and 3 UP engines roll by. The forth engine was GM70. Well i guess it is in Chicago. Looked like they ran light from Global 1 to Canal St.

Does anyone have any info as to which other units GM 70 was with in this light engine movement in Chicago? Does anyone know the official reporting marks of these demos, i.e., EMDX 70, GM 70, EMD 70 etc.?
