    Hmmm. Engines might be BNSF.... But with the way power moves around these days, that doesn't mean it is a BNSF facility.

    Not thinking BNSF, those look blue to me.

    Here's a clue- it's a Class 1 spinoff running on trackage from a fallen flag

    :rolleyes: :p

    At first, I thought it was DM&E/IC&E. I looked up their route map, and followed nearly every foot of their trackage from Chicago to KC, to MSP to Rapid City to no avail. That's not to say that I didn't miss it. Ugh, this ia diabolical one, Bob!:pbiggrin:

    Congrats Scott!

    It is indeed the locomotive facilities of the Ft. Worth and Western RR, which operates on the former Santa Fe Dublin Subdivision between Ft. Worth and Ricker (east of Brownwood), TX, plus branches from Dublin to Gorman (ex-Texas Central, nee MKT) and Cresson to Cleburne; plus former Frisco trackage in Ft. Worth and east to Carrolton. Except for two Gensets, the motive power roster is all EMD.

    I'll see if I can pick one a bit easier
















    .......or not............
