| Description: |
Well, needless to say, two SD40-2s on trains nowadays are cool anyway, and with this amazing coincidence (or conspiracy, however you look at it!) came out together on the daily NTW-KCK. |

How Times Change |
| Description: |
Not too lmng ago, this Dresser Turn would have either two SOO SD60's or three CP SD40-2's. Not too long ago, the 7003 still wore BNSF patches and was a mainline mainstay. Not too long ago, the two trailing SD40-2's were both hauling for Pacificv, the 6212 CP and the 6458 UP. Not too long ago.... |

History in the Making |

Two closely related SD40-2's are linked up on this bitterly cold Minnesota day, and with it being 2009 I couldn't really believe that Im watching these units last few weeks, months if their lucky, before BNSF fills the "quota" for SD40-2 retirements. The 7000,7100,7800,7900,8000's are among the groups being wiped out. |

Yes, the sky is blown out, but having no time to adjust the settings this will have to do. A pair of Green Dash 2's march back to the ready tracks at Northtown. Old school on the block, Im sure its been awhile since anyone has seen two SD40-2's still in their original number and in road service around the yard here. |

Living the glory days |
| Description: |
A nice pair of SD40-2s on a manifest. Sad thing is, as this was once an everday occurance, it will soon cease to exist with the abundance of new units being ordered. I truly believe this is the last summer with "common" SD40-2s. They are soon going to be hard to find with solid lashups. An early farewell I guess... |
