Also the x-Midland Manitoba unit, 1685 taken in 2001. The 1633 ended up at TLLX in Hicks, Tx and was there at least into 2004.

A number of them were repainted. BNSF 6115, 6125, 6128, 6129, 6132, 6136 retained their high noses and received a coat of Heritage paint. Date: 10/01/15 18:29 Re: Repainted BNSF GP-9 at Rochelle Ill. Ex-CBQ. Author: SD45X Nobody noticed the steam gen vents?
