UP 2002 North
Title:  UP 2002 North
Description:  This one pretty much sealed the deal on not using my point and shoot anymore. The fact it didn't stop the action on the 2002, just irritates me to no end. I'm better than this. That second unit, the 3978, has to be a one-on-a-kind SD70M too, look how it's painted. Way to close to the D&H lightning stripe!
