Odd Unit in Denver
Author: YukonYeti

Spotted at the BNSF facilities is a rather odd unit OPT 2040.  It appears to be a highly modified SD35.  Gray in color, OPT logo.  Older style Farr air filter box, modified dynamic brake grid, no dynamic brake fan, no exhaust stack (that I could see) Sorry, no photos.. Got a distant shot but it is in the camera..

Did I miss a post or did I discover something?

Yukon Yeti... Out of his cave..

OPT = Orange Port Terminal.  They had an ex-ICG SD20 numbered 2030.  Perhaps a sister unit?

It's a former IC Paducah Rebuild SD20 and one of the last 4 such units that used former B&O SD35's as core units.

I noticed it had returned and was sitting by the BNSF roundhouse with a contract welder working on it a fewdays ago.
