The Blue Door of the BNSF
Author: mearsksealand

It would seem to me by this time someone would see this little blue door orphan and replace the----door.

My contribution to the time line of this unit------------any more contributions out there.

Image number 1 June 7, 2008 coming out of Caliente, Calif on the Mojve Sub as a DPU unit.

Image number 2 January 15, 2009 Pisgah California on the Needles Sub as headin power.

Is there a Conrail Dash 8 running around without a door?

And if so, was it ever used to payback horsepower hours to the BNSF?

Hmmmm... very interesting.

Lets face it folks, times are tough. When you need a part, go to the junk yard. If it works, BNSF could care less what color it is! How many red Warbonnet parts have you seen on BNSF Heritage units? Hundreds!

Parts is parts. If it fits, it's good to go!

I get a laugh when RR maintenance people insist that they don't cannibalize the fleet to keep a unit running.....
