Remarks: What cost $8.5 Million, is brand new, and can do inspections at 70 MPH? Apparently this thing. This is UP's newest (1 of only 2) inspection car, and it is the most advanced on the rails today. This car is still less than a month old. Canon 350D, 28-80mm.

They got a pretty sweet paintscheme on that! The only thing I'm worried about is if it hits a bad section of track while inspecting at 70MPH! =O

Holy Cow!!! I wonder if NS, CSX or anyone else will follow in the footsteps of UP??? But you're right what if it does hit a bad section of track @ 70 MPH??? It would be a sad loss and a waste of money!!

Ugly on the outside but, they are pretty nice on the inside. I piloted the FRA's T2000 which is pretty close to this one. It's pretty much an RV on rails.
