BNSF 2841 rests between assignments taken from #3
Something must've happened to the air horn - check out the scuffed paint and the orange replacement horn.
Unlike 2807, this engine has spent its whole life in the Santa Fe/BNSF system. It was built in 1975 as ATSF 3636.
BNSF 2807 was originally built in 1963...for the Union Pacific! It also wore Burlington Northern green and white before receiving its current paint scheme.
Just after The Heartland Flyer left, three switchers came down from the refinery with a load of tank cars.

BNSF 2841 ex-ATSF 3636.
This former Santa Fe GP39-2 now wears a BNSF assigned number and a fairly clean coat of H1 paint. Delivered by EMD to Santa Fe as GP39-2 3636 in February 1975, to ATSF 3136 in anticipation of the SPSF merger in July 1985 then back to 3636 in July 1986, In November 1987 was released as GP39-2u after rebuilding and assigned 3437, keeping this number until the end of Santa Fe. A decade later in November 1997 this locomotive entered the paint shop and emerged wearing BNSF H1 paint and road number 2841. Compared to a lot of other units in H2 and H3 paint, this Geep is weathering much better. Note the Omaha Orange horn behind the dynamic brake fan.
Two former Santa Fe GP39-2s in the uniform of the invader roll into BNSF's Midlothian Yard with a transfer train from nearby Venus. Nwte the different font sizes of the cabside numbers.
After picking up cars at the nearby UP Venus Yard this former Santa Fe Geep returns home before the crew detrains and head to their own homes. Note the spare knuckle on the front truck.
After exchanging loadu for empties in nearby Venus, two former Santa Fe Geeps are back on home rails.

Two units for three cars!!!
A short BNSF stack train makes its way down the BRC near 63rd and Harlem...
Four axle power from GE and EMD head up this westbound manifest...
the first few cars are from Detroit Lakes. There, they are relocating the right-of-way to accommodate the Highway 10 expansion. The new track has all new concrete ties
Could "BROKEN HEADL" stand for "broken headlight"?
Do you think they were attempting to state this engine had a "Broken Headl[ight]"?
I tried to take an "artsy fartsy" shot, but it didn't turn out as well as I wanted it to :-)
