UP 4005
Title:  UP 4005
Description:  UP 4005 SD70M leads a westbound mixed freighy through South Dallas. At the time of delivery, UP 4005 was number six of 1,000 SD70Ms on order by Union Pacific. This diesel was built in April 2000 at London, Ontario and delivered to Unkon Pacific a month later on May 25th. After sixteen years of service, 4005 appears to be aging better than its GE counterparts.
