Foster Townsend Rail Logistics GP9 207, working at the Lange-Stegmann Company's grain facility in Saint Louis, Missouri, on October 3rd, 2014, wears an attractive scheme. The roof-mounted air tanks and winterization hatch are a clue to this unit's heritage - built in July 1956 as Northern Pacific 276, this engine was later numbered Burlington Northern 1893 following the CB&Q-GN-NP-SP&S merger in 1970. The engine later ended up on Arizona's Copper Basin Railway (as their 207) before being purchased by FTRX. Photographed on private property with permission and full PPE.
