SD60 Update

I found this video on YouTube. The video itself was taken within the past week or two, and at about 1:50, it shows a UP coal train in the Twin Cities with two SD60 standard cab locos as units 2 and 3:

I asked the guy who posted this on YouTube, and he said the UP SD60s were still active in the Twin Cities. That focused me on the Walthers UP SD60 I got recently. With these locos apparently still in service, I decided to add an air conditioner to the cab:

I still haven't been able to find a photo of a UP SD60 standard cab with the lightning stripe, though, and not all UP SD60s with yellow sill stripes have air conditioners.

i also got a SOO SD60, which I find is easy to consist with Bachmann SD40-2s:

    Always nice to see the models in the 1:1 scale! Here's the 2198 in 2006: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1850047 and again in 2013: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3708699
    Sometime between 2006 and 2013 it received that AC unit.
    Looks like the 2198 / 6043 is the one and only with the lightning stripe as far as I can tell.
