Olympic Unit Going Solo

Union Pacific's SD70M #2001 has a special 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics paint scheme. It's going light power from Oakland to Gonzales, scheduled to pick up baretables there later that day. I caught it at Alviso, San Jose, and Morgan Hill.

I would love this unit in this paint scheme but UP will paint it in Armour yellow, so what is the use?

@Nathanrailfan: Someone spread a rumor that UP 2002 was going to be repainted Armour Yellow when it ended up in Jenks Shop in Arkansas for an overhaul. It got repainted alright, getting white stripes instead of blue, but otherwise the Olympic scheme remained. Just ignore the rumors and chase 'em while you can.

Wow it looks so weird seeing a loco all by its lonesome! Great catch!

Wow....67MPH! I never thought in a million years a single engine would be allowed to travel that fast.

Great work!

I like hearing that defect detector at the end. Strangely, the detector's voice recently changed—now it transmits the readout in a female voice.
