BNSF 793
Title:  BNSF 793
Description:  It's not every day you see a freshly painted locomotive on it's maiden run. If it had a new exhaust stack it would be indistinguishable from a brand new GE. This unit was involved in a collision in Missouri 11/7/10 and underwent repairs at the BNSF Topeka shop. Looks great!
