    Saw this unit at the NS yard in Irondale (Birmingham) Alabama last fall. It really looks good in the BNSF Heritage 1 colors.

    The unit was on a transfer run.

    Bob,
    I hate that the Frisco units were gone from Birmingham by the time I made my first railfan trip there back in the mid 80's. :( However, the BN and now BNSF has almost always been a good place to visit when there. :cool:

    I have never seen a BNSF switcher... however, one of the most interesting BNSF units I have ever seen was an SD24 type unit!
