BN or BNSF? |
Description: |
If you took the patches off the 7821 this could have easily looked like a pre BNSF merger shot. BNSF 7821 works the pullout job while a BNSF caboose sits nearby. |

1996 or 2006? |

This could have passed as a shot taken in 96' just after the merger, but the sad fact is that its 2006. The entire time we were down at Northtown, all that could be seen was BN green!! How things have changed since this was taken. |

This sure was a nice catch, seeing a strait SD45 owned by NRE. I bet this old SD45 has seen MUCH better days, like pulling high speed freight from LA to Chicago. This engine was 40 years old when I took this picture, shows how well the ATSF keep up their power. |

SD9s |
Description: |
Two SD9s and a GP28M make up a very nice lashup for 2006. The 6120 is set up to run long hood forward, and that makes sense since it is former GN. The two SD9s were 48 years old, and the GP28Ms frame was 50 years old when I took this shot. A true tribute to the quality of EMDs locomotives. |

Description: |
A BN unit trails on a power move at the diesel shops. I ran into this same unit a few years before I took this shot, and it was nice to still see it as a BN unit in 2006. |

CEFX rests just north of 44th Ave among other units waiting for a trip to the shops. I thinking this is an SP unit based off the headlights in the nose. |
