Nostalgia & History > Time for a BN-MRL-ATSF break

1997 was a pretty good year. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time to 1997. There was plenty of variety on the Burlington Northern So Far, or "Santa Fe" back then. So here are some shots from a sunny, warm October day. Enjoy.

#1 BN GP9 1977 is a former SP&S locomotive.

#2 Moving around the locomotive shop area is ATSF GP30 2754.

#3 Heading up a eastbound is MRL 315. Looks pretty nice in clean paint. That blue sure is dark though.

#1 After the 315 came SD40-2 7936.

#2 After the 7936 came the 5060.

#3 Closeup of the 5060 mis-matched name. Something interesting to model someday, eh?
