    This should partially answer a question asked in another thread about the B23-7s.

    On the SW1200s, there seems to be an error on the list BNSF provided, as four may already have been sold, as follows:

    3501 listed For Sale March/06; sold to LTE, arrived McDonald OH 8/15/06.
    3523 showing Sold 2/04; to ILS reltrd ILSX 3523; confirmed byCPR trace at Glenwood MN during Oct/04.
    3530 listed For Sale March/06, sold to LTE, arrived McDonald OH 8/24/06
    3542 listed ??Sold Nov/05, ??arrived NRE Silvis (along with 3538 and
    3548).

    Does anyone know if any of the SD9s are ex-B&O?

    LUGO- Laid Up Good Order
    LUBO- Laid Up Bad Order
    LUFS- Laid Up For Sale
    LUPE- Laid Up Pending Evaluation (do we repair it, sell it, or scrap it?)

    All the SD9s are ex-BN.

    IIRC, the Port of Tillamook Bay RR got about 10 or so SD9s from BNSF, all ex-BN and all except one high-hood. Except for the GP9, all of POTB's diesel fleet is (I believe) SD9s.
