I spend a fair amount of time on the west end of the Roseville yard and see quite a few of the remote controlled SD38-2s. I like the sound of a non-turbo'd 16 cylinder engine at full throttle. Being remotely controlled, I don't think the operator minds the loud chugs from wherever they are with their throttle pack. Here's a handful of shots of these hard working locomotives. The numbers are UPY 803, 841, 840, 853, 857, and 862.
