Kinda takes ya back doesn't it? Nice reminder of the good 'ol days, good work

 

[setxrailfan]

Thanks Ken.
Thanks J.R.

When I talked to the engineer on BNSF 777 as to what track to come in he told me he was "Unstoppable". Refering to the movie Unstoppable that had GWVR 777 as the lead unit.

Nice catch Mr. St. Aubin....did you have them pose the trains offset like that?

 

[Abilene Ks Railfan]

Nice catch!! I caught sister 778 yesterday leading on a westbound grain empty

 

[setxrailfan]

Thanks guys.

Jess- I think the inbound engineer knew I would prefer that!

 

[SDJeff]

I was about to say Unstoppable as well. Good catch.

What an awesome catch.
I hope they keep these units around.
How Many of these units are still in warbonnet paint and active.

 

[setxrailfan]

Thanks FR8TRNZ.

I'm pretty sure 100% of the 700-799 series units are still in red/silver with the exception of BNSF 793 that was wrecked and off the roster.

I have photos of the 703, 727 and 796 in the latest orange/black scheme. 739, 740 and 745 were never in Warbonnet, painted H2 at the start.

Great Catch!

Thanks Brian. I totally forgot about those.

No problem, though I wish I had been wrong and you'd been right!

Nice seeing two of the 700's side by side like that. And I agree, good catch!
