It has a sticker in it from Santa Fe time service department saying it was cleaned 9-14-55. I also have 4 unused Santa Fe time cards with it...

    BNSF remote control SD60M

    That's the one we are testing in argentine yard it's the 8131. I like the cab but that's about it the sd40-2s we use now are alot better to switch with. The 8131 just doesn't load quick enough and respond quick enough for rco and it couldn't shove the hump by itself

    BNSF remote control SD60M

    Aparently BNSF is wanting to replace the SD40-2s they have for remote control with rebuilt SD60Ms. We have had one in the bowl and hump at argentine this week testing it and BNSF has at least 5 other sd60m headed to have rcl equipment added

    BNSF MAC's in H3

    I have seen some around that have been painted in h3. And I would rather have a mac than an NS but the MACs we catch need to be rebuilt. And we catch MACs alot.
