GEVO Waits With Coal Loads |
| Description: |
BNSF 4271 idles at the BNSF South Seattle yard. The engine is on the point of a northbound coal train parked on one of the yard tracks. The train is likely awaiting a new crew to take the train to points further north. BNSF 4271 is an ES44C4 built in 2016 by General Electric. Behind the newer GE is an older EMD model, 1997-built SD70MAC 9814. 9814 wears the BN Grinstien "Executive" Green that was applied to these units right after the BN/ATSF merger. These units are becoming rarer and rarer as they are repainted in newer BNSF paint schemes. |

| Title: |
Grinstein MAC |
| Description: |
BNSF 9814 is the first of two EMD units on a northbound coal train parked in the BNSF South Seattle yard. The train likely originated from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming, and is bound for coal export plants in British Columbia. Despite being built in 1997 for BNSF, the unit is painted in the colors of predecessor Burlington Northern. The unit was delivered before BNSF had established its own corporate logo and paint scheme, so new engines built as late as 1997, two years after the merger, were still delivered painted in predecessor colors. |
