Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF 110 on B StreetDate: 09/22/22 10:44 BNSF 110 on B Street Author: NickWolters After swapping inbound and outbound cars for two shortlines (Central California Traction Co. and Stockton Terminal & Eastern), BNSF 110 coasts southward down B Street in Stockton, CA with interchange traffic on the morning of August 31, 2022. The engineer will reach out to "Mormon Tower" over the radio to receive landing instructions at the yard. Typically, this move takes place under the cover of darkness in the early morning hours rather than in daylight. Recently rebuilt and rostered as a "GP60M-3", No. 110 was built for the Santa Fe in 1990.

But as you can see from the engineer's head visible through the windshield it's being operated as a "normal" unit. Date: 09/22/22 17:55 Re: BNSF 110 on B Street Author: texchief1 Nice shot!
