Jacob Nelson General Sure is an interesting looking machine there. I see one of the "GN" units are back at Northtown. I caught that last February i think. Could be that it never left though. 12/17/2010 2:14:54 PM
The Slidebroker image by John Hill General It's an SD9, GN 1720. Appears to be newly renumbered from BNSF 1720, the one that sat for eons north of the 44th Ave bridge. Didn't see any pictures of GN 1720 yet on RRPA, so my guess is they must have just done that number change. 12/17/2010 3:07:19 PM
Jacob Nelson General Oh, i thought it was the SD39-2 that was in H1 then turned to GN. Didn't know that it was renumbered "GN 1720". Yeah I remember seeing it up by 44th, but a few locomotives up that way seemed to have moved of late. Is it in the storage line? Is it being used perhaps? 12/18/2010 11:16:53 AM
The Slidebroker image by John Hill General GN 1720 is in the "T" Yard deadline, along with a few other new arrivals of mixed Geep models. http://rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2339869 12/18/2010 5:33:59 PM
