UP Manifest & Intermodal Perfect Meet @ EBJ Union Station w/ EMD power & SD70M Leader! 9/7/24

I was railfanning at EBJ Union Station (full vid coming soon) and heard a K3LA in the distance. About an hour before this video, I heard another horn which I thought was a freight train but didn't believe it until I saw it. This time I decided to hurry to the Amtrak platform to see what was coming, and sure enough I got not one but two UP trains, the first having an SD70M leader. Something I haven't seen since 2022. Then to my surprise, I saw another train rounding the curve in the distance heading toward me, which was the second UP train. The reason you're hearing all the honking (except the horn salutes for me) was because there was work being done in the area and honking is basically protocol. Anyways, both trains had EMD power, with the first having all EMDs (SD70M & SD70AH) and the second having 2 GE's and 2 EMD's (AC44CTE, SD70ACe, C44ACM, SD70M) which was also really cool to see and something I haven't seen on UP for a good while either. This power is quickly becoming more elusive or disappearing, so this is probably one of the last times I'll see this.
