NREX 9926
Title:  NREX 9926
Description:  Unloaded from the UP for quite some time, the 9926 still soldiered on with the BNSF at this time. Now, its almost certain to be on lease with CP. After that, this unit may very well be put to bed.

The Last
Title:  The Last
Description:  At the time, the SD45 era was on its last chapter, and only about a month and a half left before the saga ended. But, this morning was a sight for sore eyes for sure, when the WC 7519 was seen with two other EMDs at New Brighton. This would be the last time it would ever lead out of town on 406 again.
