BNSF 4 axle power move 10/30
Author: Q-GP30

A power move of around 15 4-axle motors was sited on the BNSF St. Joseph line at Hamburg Iowa on 10/30/20 @6PM. Couldn’t get numbers as I was southbound on I-29. Easer was a ES44C4 with a C44-9Won the rear. Several green Geeps, one blue/white GP38-2, a couple of ATSF painted Geeps and the lone GP38-2B, all the rest were orange. Any ideas where their heading, storage/disposal ?

Hamburg is on the Napier sub not St.Joe line. You didn't say which way they were headed. If north probably are going to P.Jct and then east to Albia and to RELCO.

Amazed the GP38-2B is still around. One passed thru Berdoo many years ago on the 668 train and
we were half in shock.
