| Varied BNSF engines are massed at the Interbay engine terminal. The yard has long been a storage site and deadline for dozens of yard and local freight power. BNSF 2553, an ex-Santa Fe GP35 rebuild, is on the far left near the sand and fuel racks. On the other side of the service area is BNSF 1453, a BN SD60M now in H2 paint. In the right foreground is a line of stored GP38ACs and GP38-2s, two of which still wear my beloved Cascade Green. Further back are a GP60, SD75I, and GP35, all of Santa Fe/BNSF lineage. Farthest back is another line of stored engines, including a GP60B, ex-Frisco Geep, and even a diminutive SW1200, originally built for Northern Pacific in 1956. Of the 15 engines in this shot, only five appear to be in serviceable condition. The others are likely in for maintenance, being stored for a surge in traffic, or awaiting scrap. |
