UP 1996 Leads a Late ZLCBR Northbound Through Richvale, California

EMD SD70ACe #1996 and two EMD SD70M's lead a late ZLCBR intermodal past Fruitvale Road in Richvale, California on the UP Valley Subdivision on the evening of September 1, 2009 at 6:44 PM, as the late afternoon sun illuminates the red and orange Daylight themed SP heritage unit. The train is running about 5 hours behind schedule this evening due to an accident in Modesto. Apparently 1996 hit a woman that walked around lowered crossing arms in Modesto, California earlier in the day. I examined the playback closely and could not see any blood anywhere on the front of the unit.

Usually they're pretty good about cleaning crime scenes like that afterward...

So they do clean up the mess...maybe that's why she sat in Roseville longer than usual yesterday, they were hosing her down!

Jeez, wonder who that moron had to be.. But Normally in scenes like that they clean the unit down to remove the mess. But anyways, gotta love the K5LLA/ And the outstanding whine of those engines working hard combo..
