It doesn’t make sense to store metal in Galveston with its humid, salty environment. Date: 01/14/20 06:47 Re: BNSF C40-8Ws to Texas storage Author: MP555 WrongWayMurphy Wrote:

The locomotives heading to Texas storage are all Laid Up For Sale. BNSF is done with them. Whatever happens to them, scrap or resale, is up to whomever eventually purchases them.

I can't help but wonder if a deal is in the works but not final to export these units, and the previously sent SD70MACs.

They're very well equipped to handle loading and unloading large pieces of equipment like locomotives. Date: 01/14/20 14:00 Re: BNSF C40-8Ws to Texas storage Author: ShortlinesUSA Indeed. Many a locomotive has been exported to South America via Galveston.
