    This unit was built as SP 7231- it became UP 9999 very briefly before going to NREX as their 9999. The train symbol is the G64- and has only recently been rescheduled as a daylight run. When I lived in Wisconsin along this line- the train was nocturnal. Nice shot.

    Mark, What are the plans for these units now that the Michigan Central deal for WATCO fell through?

    BNSF northbound business train at Orr siding, Tomball, TX. Didn't even know it was coming until the engineer off the train in the siding came down to tell me about it.

    Great shot from the north side of the bridge- no billboards, no wires, and best of all none of those goofy streetlights!

    The west entrance of the depot at Coon Rapids, IA still shows it's MILW heritage signboard in January 2002, sadly this building was recently razed by the BNSF.

    Comment by 'nordique72' in media 'Empty Auto-racks going through Belvedere.'

    You've taken a wonderful photo!- and while the 6922 isn't ex-CGW, she was one of two SD40-2s painted in 1976 in the Falcon Service scheme for the CNW, the other- 6910 was wrecked in Minnesota in 1987. A rare bird indeed!
