Western Railroad Discussion > Light power variety on BNSF in Seattle 7-12-18

Caught this set of light power headed north in Seattle Thursday 7-12-18.  BNSF 1758/2516/1069/2619/294/3035/GN 3439 (SD40-2/GP39-2/C44-9W/GP39-2/SD75I/GP40X/SW1500) is your motive power.  Going by the exhaust the 1758 is piutting out those trailing units must be giving it quite the workout!

There’s a GP40X in service, in swoosh paint no less?

Nice look at the older power. Great to still see a blue and yellow Santa Fe unit on the point.

You bet! At one time we had the 1758 and 3439 in Klamath Falls. For a while they were mated up and instead of using the remotes I got to run them. Quite the odd couple lol. I like that 1758, it’s one of the nicest SD40-2’s around in original colors.
