New C4's abound in KC
Author: bnsfsd70

Out in KC today, we were able to find a number of new BNSF C4's, and I figured I'd keep you all posted.

Photo 1: BNSF 6956 on the (I think) PASKCK.
Photo 2: A line of primered C4's at Mid-America car, led by the 6977 and 6975.
Photo 3: Two more at MAC in various stages of the painting process, the 6958 and 6967.

Thanks for looking,
Jeff Carlson

I wonder if the paint guys buff out that black BNSF stencil, or if one can still see the ghost of it under the fresh orange paint.

Those middle guys look like they have just been inducted into the Army!

I see a BN SD70MAC in the last picture on the right. Getting new paint also?

BNSF 6970, 6971 & 6972 were on what appeared to be Z-ATGSBD today (4-18) through Tulsa.

Who knows. That's the 9541 and if it gets new paint, one of the KC guys will surely get it.

I see it comes equipped with the antennas for the PTC.

Ha! I ran the 6956 from Newton - Ark City a few trips ago... think I was the 8th person to run it, well on the cards anyways. Still had that "new car" smell to it.

BNSF has ordered a new EMD SD70Ace model similar to the C4's but the traction motors and dummy axles has a slightly different configuration, thr dummy axles will be towards the fuel tank.
