Here's a shot of #8018 when she was in stoage and amoung her are more SD40 - 2s, power was slowly not being needed, so some of these came to be stored until needed again while other were done with their BNSF careers
It's January 2009 and all that's in the storage line are only SD40 - 2s and SD45 - 2s, I don't know the fate of #6756, but #8018 would be out of storage and back out on the main again. I got her this year with a SD40 - 2 numbered #1776 in Stanchfield
You can't see this anymore on a class 1 line. Sad.
This isn't a good sign...SD60Ms in storage. I didn't think this would happen for at least a few more years.
The frozen fuel tank is quite interesting to look at.
The line of stored units has grown again, and has a lot of units in it. Theres even a GP60B back in there...
One of many stored dash 2s in the T yard...
