    Yeah, they're dragging out everything that's in storage. Been seeing alot of weird stuff-yesterday alone, 3 CP rail units alone on a Z-train, then 2 CN units as sole power on a baretable, plus everything else you'll normally see on the BNSF.

    Reminds me of the 90's when everything was mis-mashed together after the merger!(y)

    Talking with friends on the BNSF, they are hurting for power. The new non-maintenance program is proving to be problematic, at best. Lots of stored 70MAC's are being fired up, and some of the older stored -9's. Maybe they will figure it out, :confused: but probably not.

    Got the 777 the other day.

    Crossing the Sunset Route in Rosenberg back in November 2006. They added a pony to the hitch to pull the load.

    Looks like a GP50, but says GP25.

    I wonder if it's de-tuned for lower power to get by the Tier-4 standards?

    It was struggling even with this short consist!:rolleyes:

    A while ago I looked at BNSF's rosters between 2000 and 2010 to find a year, best fitting the models accumulated on my shelfs (should I ever find the knack to build a layout). One of the things I found was, how easy to model a "GP25" - just a change of lettering, when BNSF derated the horsepower on some GP50s to 2500hp in 2005/2006. In some forums I read speculations this could allow BNSF to classify the modified units as yard engines and as such allow higher emission rates.

    I actually saw one on a container chassis behind a truck yesterday on Interstate 45 south of Dallas. I had never been up close to see the small lettering for the company name "Ocean Network Express" before.
