Western Railroad Discussion > CIT engine 6003 shows up on BNSF Fort Scott Sub

A CIT Rail Resources locomotive, No. 6003,  was positioned fourth in this BNSF Railway consist I observed on Monday afternoon on the Fort Scott Subdivision a short distance south of Olathe, Kan. The mixed manifest train had stopped just north of 175th Street, awaiting a green signal.

Wedged between the CIT engine unit and the BNSF leader were two CSX engines. The locomotives were BNSF 7378. CSXT 7563 and CSXT 7522.

I understand CIT 6003 was formerly owned by the SOO Line.

Here are three more side views of the power (and healthy right of way weeds).

Interesting to see GE conventional cabs running on the minline. We've had several of the leased SD-60s in Denver recently... Anyone know how many of the SD-60 lease units BNSF has?
