Well I decided I would post all the BN photos I have. I have only had one trip to the USA and that was in 1998 so here they are. The first 2 photos was taken at Bealville crossing on the way down to Caliente
By coincidence I have been scanning pics for Matt and my visit to Southern Cal. to put on my Photopic site. Matt, how about putting some Captions on your pics?
Yup here is the last batch of Loco shots. These 2 shots of the BN B30-7AB was taken at Woodford siding.
B30-7AB taken at Monolith in the rain... 3115 taken at a grade crossing on Cajon called Swarthout Canyon
BN 7802 near the loop at Tehachapi. bunch of 40-2's at a rainy Monolith, be better if it wasnt for the Blue and Yellow blob in the middle.
Saved my favourite till last, I was very lucky to get this as there was only 4 on the roster, Burlington Northern SDP40 taken on a steel coil train in Bakersfield, shame the sun was the wrong side.
You guy's realize that the SDP40's are almost 40 years old!! I hope BNSF donates one so that it can go back in GN colors.
Good thining, Kurt! Are there any SDP45's left? GN had 6 IIRC. One would look great in Big Sky Blue, again!
Last I heard, there was one still in the NRE backlot as of 2003. It was the BN 6599, the one that had the 4 axle flexing truck applied for testing. It was a test truck for today's radial trucks. It was removed from the 6599 before retirement. http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/bn6599a.jpg http://www.trainpix.com/BN/EMDORIG/SDP45/6599B.HTM http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/bn/bn6599bdb.jpg http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/bn/bn6599adb.jpg
