Western Railroad Discussion > a fine sight: a ex-bn sd70mac leadingDate: 01/04/20 06:39 a fine sight: a ex-bn sd70mac leading Author: goneon66 i ususally don't take videos of auto rack trains. then, i saw this ex-bn sd70 mac leading, grabbed my camera, and started to take the video. since these fine motors seem to be at the end of their careers and they are rare leaders on the bnsf's transcon, i thought i'd post this.
the csx sd40 was a nice catch too. the location is on the bnsf's seligman sub between kingman and hackberry, az on the bnsf's seligman sub in the summer of 2019............. 66 You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos.

I never really cared for the Grinstein Green scheme but these days,
it's almost as good as a Warbonnet. Hey, I said ALMOST! Nick Tharalson, Marion, IA Date: 01/04/20 07:59 Re: a fine sight: a ex-bn sd70mac leading Author: goneon66 that is correct, just e/of c.p. walapai..........
