Today the grove job had some "new" power on it, a pair of Santa Fe geeps. This was a welcomed sight from the 2716. |

Old work horse |
| Description: |
An old BNSF waits for whats comes next for it after more the 50 years of service on the railroad. I wonder if the new Gevos will last as long as the SD9s did... |
