Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF SD9 1727 at Brookfield, MO?Date: 09/30/20 02:12 BNSF SD9 1727 at Brookfield, MO? Author: Evan_Werkema Back in 2017, BNSF donated SD9 1727 (ex-BN 6154, originally CB&Q 352) to the town of Brookfield, MO. The most recent photos I can find of the unit show it still on BNSF rails parked near the grain elevator:

Here are a couple of photos from last year of the move which looks like it is now off of BNSF propetry. I looked at Google Earth, but it dates from 2015 and the engine was moved by side boom cranes, These photos come from a FB post. Photo credit to Sam Bailey used with permission.
