Out of the Morning Haze |
| Description: |
Off on the distant morning haze I saw headlights, and figured I'd wait to see what was coming. Much to my suprise it was the BN-CP with three SD40-2s! Not only did it sound great, but it was a very welcomed sight among a sea of GE power. Lets hope this lashup stays together a bit longer. My only regret about this is that I didn't take video of it. |

Original BN |
| Description: |
The 2140 was one of the original BN GP38s that pulled the first official BN freight back in 1970 with about five other GP38s. These were actually ordered by the SP&S, but due to labor shortages at EMD, they were delivered as BN units. Here it is spotted many years later working the grove job in the T yard. |

BN or BNSF? |
| Description: |
My jaw dropped when I first saw this GP50 at the shops. Look close, the BNSF patch is gone! However, I overlooked the conductors side which still had the BNSF patch on...oh well, so close to being unpatched!! |
