UP 4850 (My SD70M) in the Oakland Yard
Title:  UP 4850 (My SD70M) in the Oakland Yard
Description:  Union Pacific SD70M #4850 sits idling in the Oakland Yard after I drove it a short distance. Yes, I am just a railfan and yet I got the chance to drive a mainline UP locomotive. That is the reason why 4850 is my SD70M.
