GN(?!) 3613
Title:  GN(?!) 3613
Description:  GN(?!) 3613 - and I do recognize her, but she didnt have that GN painted in front of the registry number last time I saw her... while handing my license to RP and trying to explain what entrapment was having parked what I thought was BNSF 3613 in the service yard just _asking_ to have her picture taken - and there really wasnt a fence in place - and its not like I was _that_ close (if I got where I wanted, I wouldnt have had a dumb bank of gravel and dirt in my way). So of _course_ I recognized the registry number (because that was the first and only time Ive ever had Rail Police ask for everything on me - sort of leaves an impression - "So, taking pictures of trains is illegal?" (Dont get me wrong, he was polite - he just didnt get the big deal about this little unit.)

GN 3613 • Portland OR • 08/22/15
Title:  GN 3613 • Portland OR • 08/22/15
Description:  Working in industrial northern Portland, Oregon, is GN 3613, a BNSF Railway Sw1000 that, as of December 29, 2014, began wearing the railroad’s obsolete “GN” reporting mark. (The GN mark is still owned by the BNSF, since the Great Northern was one of the BNSF’s predecessor railroads.) This is done to avoid using 5-digit numbers (which the railroad’s computers generally cannot use) and this change is made to quickly renumber older locomotives that are nearing retirement in order to clear groups of numbers to be used on new locomotives. In this particular case, while GN 3613’s reporting mark was only a year and a half old when photographed on August 22, 2015, this locomotive still has the GN marks in late 2019. While GN was one of the railroads merged to become the Burlington Northern (and, eventually, the BNSF), this locomotive was never owned by GN, as it was built in February 1972, after the BN Railroad was formed. It was originally BN 388, then BNSF 3613 and finally GN 3613.

GN 3613
Title:  GN 3613
Description:  GN 3613 SW-10 on the distant side of the turn-table spur making her return to Vancouver after last seeing her in an odd-power group northbound in Woodland, WA and headed out of town. Not sure what it means to be wearing BNSF pumpkin with BNSF rear-hatch badge... but "GN" at the registry. Bean-counters... Im sure theres a reason.
