Three flavors of BNSF SD60M Power at Commerce, CA
Author: MrMRL

Found enjoying today's afternoon sunshine across from the Commerce, CA Metrolink platform alongside BNSF's Commerce Diesel Service yard. No clue what they're doing in town, or how long they'll be around. Just a nice change of scenery. Two of the units still show "COMMERCE" as their home shop, is this Commerce, CA? or Commerce, CO?

An old Frisco GP38-2, BNSF 2267 (ex BN 2267, nee SLSF 412) built 46 years ago in July 1973 was a nice touch tacked on to the end of the SDs. As was the NRE 3GS21-DE BNSF 1294 (built June 2010) tacked on the other end.

Good day for you and us. You caught the former 9277 (9454), only 60M, OR WIDE CAB, in H1 paint. It was a mistake and was not repeated.

Also just now noticing what look like two blue radiator fan housings on the SD60Ms, maybe swiped from old EMD/Oakway SD60s? Or maybe old Conrail EMDs?

Nice shots.  I like the H1 paint scheme on the 60.

Fun, but where are the 3-window cab versions?
