Nice ACe night shot Leonard! FYI, your lead unit catch is the official last "red stripe" locomotive to be delivered to UP although not the last one built at EMD. Confusing? UP 8309 as the "class unit" UP SD70ACe was first off the production line but sent direct to EMD's La Grange test plant and later VMV before official delivery to UP. It wasn't delivered to the UP until after testing on 08.16.05, a full five months after it rolled off the EMD prduction line. IIRC, UP 8326 was the last of only eleven red sill stripe ACe's to roll-off the production line...
