Western Railroad Discussion > The Only Oddball Of The Day So Far On The BNSF--O or QNS&L

It was a nice sunny day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 63-33. I was going to take a break today, but one oddball unit was in the EB 1146am manifest. There have been 23 trains since midnight of the usual suspects, lol.

4/7/2020

1. EB 1146am manifest with BNSF 5129-8170 and O or QNS&L 528 on the point with no DPU.
2. Another shot of ONS&L 528. Not sure where this unit is from. Not a bad paint scheme. Maybe someone has more info on this unit.

Back to taking a break, lol. Hope everyone has a great evening and tomorrow. Thanks so much for taking a look!

Hey Larry, No pics with post. At least as I am looking at them. And BTW  QNSL would be Quebec North Shore and Labrador. They are getting some new units from GE. Coming out of Tacoma at one of the Paint facilities there. (Recall seeing some shots earlier of one or two up that way.  Ben

5 EMD SD70ACes rebuilt from former BHP-Australia SD70ACes by Progress Rail in Tacoma, WA.

Sorry everyone, forgot to post the pictures. They are up now.

Thanks. Recall seeing some shots at Tacoma and thought they were GE's, but that got me to wondering why if they were GE units, why they would be out  in Tacoma getting painted. Be well. Ben
