Union Pacific SD9043MAC's 8270 and 8181 are hauling an eastbound manifest near Valley, NE on July 12, 2006. Although these are SD90's they are using 4300 hp engines rather than the 6000 hp engines in the 8500 series (which are all retired). They are in effect a large 1990's era SD70MAC. They are sort of a precursor to the SD70ACe.

Canon 1DSMKII - 1/1000 sec - f/5.0 - ISO 320 - EF70-300mm f/4.5-5.6DO IS lens @ 70mm.
