History in the Making |
| Description: |
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... |

Once a dime a dozen, now yard service |
| Description: |
A set of three SD40-2's, all#green, head back into the yard after pumping air on an all-rail train. Sadly, this#is about the only mainline running they are doing anymore, as they cross over into the 603 switch. There is no question that these are yard engines, the missing plow tells the story all too well. |

Although a piece of fence is included in this image, the sound and circumstance was too much to ignore. In the land of widecabs, even GEVO's to say it simpler, when you have none present, its exactly that, a gift. After this night, I saw both of these units leave town on trains, the 7922 left on the TACBLU, and the 7146 had the NTWKCK. |
