  Date: 05/11/19 11:52 Re: BNSF Pumpkin receives heart transplant from Warbonnet Author: Brian_P The stack thing has been going on for while with Dash9's. Its for storage so they can cover the stack up. But BNSF 4729 got into a nasty wreck at Bellmont AZ about 20 years ago.

but was unable to get a photo. Date: 05/12/19 12:51 Re: BNSF Pumpkin receives heart transplant from Warbonnet Author: dcfbalcoS1 Don't know if it actually got a 'heart' transplant or just a new suit coat.
