I saw that ARR got some new SD70MACs. Do they have passenger capabilities, or do they use the ex-Amtrak F40PH power cars for HEP? What kind of control stand do they have? Is it AAR stand or the Desk? And, ever notice how the paint scheme sort of follows the same lines as BNSF's scheme? Take a hard look at the nose and long hood, seems to be the same pattern.
