| Description: |
Due to weather problems, yesterdays number 7 got attached to todays 8. Here we see the entire length of the two combined trains as it limps into town. This will probably be the biggest Empire Builder I'll ever see. |

There appears to be no patch on this unit! However, other pictures in the database show that it really is BNSF. I wonder how the "BNSF" lettering came off. |

Catch of the Day |
| Description: |
This was one of the better catches of the day for me when I was at Northtown Yard. The 7951 is one of just 10 SD45-2s that got rebuilt into the 79XX series. Here's its seen making a light power move at the diesel shops with a GP39-2, SD40-2, and an SD60M. If only this was power for a road train, or even the BN-CP Transfer! |
