The last? |
| Description: |
Yup, your seeing right. The date is no lie. Quite possibly the last time I see two non-yard BN Green SD40-2's still in their original numbers. BNSF 7055 trails. These two were on a work train, and ran back to Northtown to tie up. |

BNSF 7055 |
| Description: |
Yes, the sky is blown out, but having no time to adjust the settings this will have to do. A pair of Green Dash 2's march back to the ready tracks at Northtown. Old school on the block, Im sure its been awhile since anyone has seen two SD40-2's still in their original number and in road service around the yard here. |

Well I guess if the Catfish HAD to lead, atleast it had a white brow. The NTWGAL once again brings a nice lashup, although since the purge of many engines in the last year it has been dull lately. Today was a nice change to that, though! |

A memorable BN-UP |
| Description: |
Frank Jordan is at the handle of the 2218 today, but before proceeding with his own work, he drags the BNSF 6327 and CP 8500 over to the North Runner pocket for the CP-BN transfer later in the day. This would be the final time that the SDP40 would be on its home rails with its true roadname and number, after many years of faithful service to its merger partners. |

Although this has been at Northtown going on 7 years now, I was surprised to arrive this morning and find it shutdown on one of the old T-yard tracks. It seemed more interesting when it was actually shutdown instead of doing the daily routine of being the pullout locomotive. But, soon after a crew arrived and here she is shown getting awoken for yet another day of work. |
