The Local

The local heads west from the yard in Hodgkins Illinois, on the old ATSF mainline during the summer of 2005.
That one is in really good shape. BNSF has a number of cabooses in the LA area that they use for locals and they're all covered with graffitti.
 
999730 is still in service on the ex-ATSF outside Chicago, but it received the steel plated window treatment last year (2006).
