A Gift |
| Description: |
I was pretty surprised to see this unit down by the shops. Hoping that my last day of summer would yield some neat stuff, I already was pleased with this sight. It would get better! This unit "isn't from round here" either, because there are a few of the usual suspect SD40-2's that can be found from time to time. This one came out of nowhere though, hopefully it stays around, and doesn't get renumbered right away. |

After getting a glimpse of the red nose with white chevrons from the bridge, I thought that this was an INRD unit of some sort. Equally surprising, this strange GP7 sits near other cool engines, such as a BNSF MP15, Santa Fe GP40X, and now rare SD40-2's. |

Last time I shot 9 SD40-2's on a train, they were BNSF owned and heading for HLCX. That was last summer, and now I find nine FURX's being dragged in for contract work yet again. Boy, I'll be waiting patiently to catch one of these in the lead this fall/winter. The last hurrah of SD40-2's I have a feeling. |
