The good one! |
| Description: |
And heres what I came for, but not FOUR! L-TWI602 heads up the grade wide open with a lashup that will probably never be recreated! The last unit was added at Aberdeen, for what reason I dont know. But a pair of Swooshes and two others, complete in the Front-Front-Back-Back formation, was just amazing! |

What a way to go out, four SD40-2's organized like this. This was definately my goodbye to these warriors, notched up and flying through the small towns of South Dakota and Western Minnesota. These units will be missed... |

Glowing |
| Description: |
Before the 602 showed up, all was quiet here, only a few trees and cattle to look at. But, the quietness wouldn't last, as four SD40-2's swing through the small Native American town of Waubay with engines notched up and horns blaring. |

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. |

The last move for the GALNTW today is to shove the FURX's into the T Yard. These will await a visit to the shop, and then most likely head for their lesser. Im relatively sure that these wont ever run on rails again, atleast in their current state. |
