Matched power is hard to come by these days--let's see some matching consists! Livingston, MT is just a few short miles ahead, where this (BNSF run-thru with MRL crews) Warbonnet-powered manifest will likely double its motive power assignment for the assault on Bozeman Pass:
Finding a train with a matched set of power is unusual. Here in the northwest the BNSF & U.P. almost never have a matched locomotive set.
NS Dash-9s are probably the most common ns that comes thru here sd70-60s es40dc sd70m-2 CP ac4400cw SD40-2 gp-38 evory blue moon es44ac Conrail C40-8CW dash-8 never two same type of cons on a train and there you have it and the es40-44dc-ac never two on a train
You guys are correct, they are HARD to find, but if you go out shooting often enough, the odds are that you'll see a couple... Here's another, Cut Bank, MT, at first light:
You've got that right. Certainly they happen. Whenever I am trackside, there seems to be a leaser, or run through, or pool power in the mix these days. Makes me miss the early days of BN greens... And I'm not even a BN fan! Boxcab E50
Not one, but TWO sets of motive power, and all of them Dash 9-44CWs! And both leading empty rock trains. Shot October last year in twilight, here in Sherman.
