Western Railroad Discussion > BN B30-7A B-units todayDate: 08/16/14 10:21 BN B30-7A B-units today Author: BrianA While scanning a photo of the BN 4005 today I got to wondering what had become of it. I know all of the BN B-units were retired in 1999 but some went to shortlines while most were scrapped. I am guessing the 4005 was scrapped. Didn't all of them also go back to GE in New York at one time to be rebuilt? Anyone know of any lists as to what happened to all of the BN's 4000 series GE B-units?
I know the 4085 went to Minnesota Commercial as their 858 and 5 more went to P&W. How about the rest?

Unually their's one or two on a stone drag out of Wallingford, Ct from the Tilcon plant or Pine Orchard which is along Amtraks NEC here in Ct.
