Nostalgia & History > To B or not to B: BN 2600Date: 04/29/13 07:16 To B or not to B: BN 2600 Author: valmont BN #2600 @ Memphis, TN 10/82 by Steve Forrest
Built as SLSF GP38AC 660 and rebuilt after being wrecked to this beauty. In 1989 it got 're-cabbed' and renumbered 2136.  Date: 04/29/13 07:22 Re: To B or not to B: BN 2600 Author: santafe199 Ok, I'll be the 1st:
I suppose all the cab info inside, including the speed recorder, amp meter, gauges & so forth are all in braille? ;^) Date: 04/29/13 07:43 Re: To B or not to B: BN 2600 Author: SCKP187 Nice to see that one again. This unit was assigned to the #466 local in Tulsa quite a bit.

Unfortunately, each move required presidential approval and the program was discontinued as not being cost effective.
Unconfirmed rumours stated the unit had a long white stick protruding from the front of the unit. This was later proved false. Date: 04/29/13 08:19 Re: To B or not to B: BN 2600 Author: santafe199 > .... the unit had a long white stick protruding from the front....
