I'm new to the railfanning aspect of this hobby...so forgive the very "newbie" question.
First, does UP ever allow the DD40X to go to the east coast, or does the tighter track radius turns and lower overpasses prevent operations in the east? I ask, because I've only seen pictures of this engine, and never more east of Illinois.
Secondly, is there a way to know when this engine moves from place to place? Is there a set schedule when it moves? I fly all over the country and knowing where it might be sitting on any given day would sure help me actually see this engine in person.
Thanks guys!
