EMD SD39-3M
We only accept GM-EMD
Hi there,
Some months ago we learned about a rumor which basically spoke about the purchase of some SD40-2 locomotives for our biggest railway here in Chile, Ferrocarril del Pacífico S.A. (Fepasa).
Those kind of rumors are common here and most of the time they aren’t true, so we were very skeptic about all of this, until we found a beauty parked in one of our harbours.
The pictures, taken by a fellow railfan Dennis Rojas (they can be found on his Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tech-ss/ ), speak for themselves; a former Burlingthon Northern/BNSF SD40-2 wich lately belonged to some leasing company (“GTLX”… don’t know it, hope you tell me).
Along with show you this “Head Up” (Sorry if I’m in the wrong forum, moderators please feel free to move this topic to the right place) I want to ask you for any extra information about the 6379, such as year of manufacture, former owners, etc. and if you know about any other locomotive like this to be send to here, Chile.
This is the third FEPASA order of modern USA locomotives. The first one were 14 former GP35/GP40 which became in SD39-M2 (overhauled by NRE), and the second one were all the nine former WC SDL-39 that were operative.
Thanks!
