Nice shot! You think the speedometer was still recovering from this? http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=92222 :P

yeah, I was also gonna bring up the fact that this UP 3982 is one unique SD70M. It is now in it's third paint scheme after being delivered as SP9808, repainted/renumbered to UP 3982 on 05.26.01 in the somewhat rare UP Jenks Diesel Paint shop style low "Z-stripe" paint scheme also with lower mounted nose wings. After being sidelined out of service for a year plus after obvious wreck/fire damage, the UP 3982 is now in it's second repaint, receiving the now standard yellow reflective sill stripe and the higher applied red Z-stripe. Nose wings look to be in the same spot though. Best yeat, somehow that original SP plow lives on through one wreck/fire and two repaints!!!

Wow, that's quite a history for one locomotive.
