Western Railroad Discussion > Where is this headedDate: 05/12/08 15:48 Where is this headed Author: delrio I took this photo on March 4 Westbound at East Escalon. Not the greatest photo but unusual to see a BNSF SD-9 around these parts. Anyone know where the unit was going and for what purpose? It and the unit just ahead of it were DIT.
Jerry I understand my photo was not attached. Operator error I'n sure. Date: 05/12/08 15:56 Re: Where is this headed Author: ATSF429 ??????

Date: 05/12/08 19:23 Re: Where is this headed Author: delrio As I recall this was the Barstow Pasco train. My guess is that it was headed for the Pacific Northwest with no idea where it came from. Is the BNSF still running SD-9's? The oldest units I see in California are GP30's. If still active what would it be used for?
Jerry Date: 05/12/08 19:38 Re: Where is this headed Author: shannon It passed by me going thru Fresno several weeks ago. Dead in train but still lookin good.
Shannon Date: 05/13/08 09:38 Re: Where is this headed Author: fbe Some of the SD9s are falling toward conversion to switch slugs and genset locos.
