[The Renton Rocket]

There is a GP9 former BNSF/BN/NP locomotive in Tacoma that has been sprayed painted GN1600 was BNSF 1600

Today as I passed Balmer i saw 3 SD9 former BNSF/BN/GN one being the former BN 6125 now GN 1730 that is still setup as long hood forward anyone have a idea about the GN lettering?

SD9 GN1729,SD9 GN1730,SD9 GN1732

Thay have been sitting someplace since there is green "moss or slime" growing on at least one side of each of them

Those are the same SD9's that has been sitting there the past couple of years but those were sitting further down towards the center of that same track, they brought it out for renumbering a couple of months ago.

Laid up locomotives that need their numbers vacated for active locomotives to use.

still interesting to see GN1730 still has the "F" on the long hood end and the mounted bell still
