The ex-ATSF GP35's that used to occupy the BNSF 2500's have mostly been rebuilt and renumbered into the 2600's, and now some of the ex-ATSF GP30's that used to be in the BNSF 2400's are being rebuilt and renumbered into the 2500's. According to this old thread, the 2548 shown above is was previously BNSF GP30 2457. http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,4082034 Date: 10/25/16 11:02 Re: BNSF 503 B40-8W Hudson Turn-Colorado Author: MP555 And now it appears that BNSF has acquired some GP30s that they sold to Larry's Truck Electric a few years ago! They will be going to RELCO.
