MP154 - In the cab of UP 8548, an EMD SD70ACe

This is a detailed interior examination of the cab of Union Pacific's #8548, an EMD (Electro Motive Diesel) SD70ACe locomotive, one of 100 EM units built in 2007 with 4,300 hp.
Note how much of the cab is assembled with bolts, Phillips head screws and pop rivets for easy assembly or dis-assembly.
Here, I capture the cab of this unit with the explicit invitation of a UP engineer. Because I've promised to keep my cab crews secret, I'll simply say that this video occurred in the high granite over Donner Pass. The engineer invited me to stay for some car switching, but I ran out of time and drive space on the Flip HD for purposes of documentation. Though, of course, I enjoyed the cab ride for any number of movements.
Be courteous and kind to your engineers, conductors, MOW crews, and you'll find some future friends no matter how onerous UP may be.
Hope you enjoy the detail captured in the cab of an EMD SD70ACe.

The sound of an EMD 710 at idle never gets old, I could listen to that mechanical 2-stroke music for hours on end. Looks nice in here, not bad place to go about the business of railroading. Thanks for sharing the views.

If you love this so much why you wont apply for job at up. Then you can listen to it at 12 plus hours at a time with special addition of screaming radio, rattle of every loose metal panel and of course great smell of stinky toilet

Deeremeyer: yes, that kind of cam may be coming, particularly if UP decides to transition to a one-crew cab. I suppose I'll have to deal with that when it occurs. In the meantime, enjoy what you can when you can. Until the UP police burst open my door, I'll still keep posting. And no, you don't know everything and the rest of my readers and viewers don't know everything about my videos or posts or photographs.

+BloviatingZeppelin I'm not sure I like the idea of one person crew! Even with the best intentions and technology,there's always a chance of system failure,..I'd feel much better knowing there was a two person crew aboard should a system failure occur with all this new PTC thing coming! That aside,...I like the interior of that SD70ACe,...and I like the sound of it,too! EMD all the way.
