You probably saw EMD test locomotive EMDX 1210 which shares the same paint scheme, but with blue substituting for Cat yellow. EMDX 1201 the Cat yellow painted locomotive is on a High-wide special train 055 from Decatur, IL to Savannah, GA hauling a load of mainly Cat construction equipment for export via the Port of Savannah. Cat PR film crew is following the train. Routing is via Louisville and the "Rathole". It has been reported that there is some non-Cat equipment on the train positioned at the rear so as not to appear in the film footage.
