So does anybody know where the units are now?

Here are my pictures, sorry, no thumbnails yet, you'll just have to click on each word in blue by the numbers until I can get some thumbnails up. I'll try and get that done today:

Were they SD70s or SD90s?

Any pictures? How did you know what train?

I work for the UP as a road engineer out of Proviso yard to Clinton Iowa. A friend of mine that works at the Proviso Diesel Shop told me about the Olympic units being in the yard.

I took the liberty of posting a picture Dave emailed me of one of the units on my layout website (Page 12). You can see it at:
