It looks like 3 SD70MAC's do what 4 C30-7's and 1 SD40-2 can do!

And to think that this line was just a glorified streak of rust just twenty years or so before this was taken . .

Wow, fantastic composition. Thanks for digging this one up and sharing.

This is the Burlington Northern I will always remember.

Great shot! I love all the executive MACs and the other BN power.

I miss this railroad. Such a class act operation. Great photo.
|
what is the fonction of the yellow carpet under the locos ?
|
That's a lot of coal! Great picture Todd!

I'm pretty sure that those are yellow sheets of steel and their purpose is to contain any spilled diesel

The yellow steel are drip pans that go to an oil/water separator. Trains Magazine has a very similar picture in an issue. It is a before and after picture, with the images 20 or so years apart.
