MOORE OK August 7 1978 -- It isn't a steam engine but it still portrays a classic smoking wedge. Santa Fe B23-7 6363 leads a light engine movement and the smoke show is mainly courtesy of the three General Electric products in the lead. General Electric built the 6363 (s/n 41686) in mid-1978 and delivered it in yellow warbonnet. On Sept 22 1995 it was transferred to BNSF. On Feb 23 2000 it was patched and renumbered BNSF 4220. It was up for auction to the highest bidder on July 19 2007. According to Fred Harrison on Loconotes it was on a train departing Galesburg IL on Oct 12 2007 headed for National Railway Equipment at Silvis IL.
