COOL UNIT |
| Description: |
Can't believe it. I never thought I would see a NS SD70M again, but not only it is a SD70M in NS paint, it has the flared grills. I used to own a N-Scale KATO NS SD70M before trading it to my dad for a UP SD70M |

BNSF 4663 Totalled |
| Description: |
There are many words about this Dash 9... Totalled... Busted... Wrecked... I was in Rochelle, IL when this unit was involved in a derailment in Fridley. The frame of this Dash 9 is intacted, but the rest of the unit is totalled. I believe this Dash 9's fate might be the scrap yard, but can BNSF save this unit? |

| Description: |
On July 16th, 2011, a BNSF Grain Train was making a usual run like all the other trains through the Cities, when the a bridge in Fridley gave way from a washout out from the summer rain. The lead Dash 9 only tipped over with minor damage, but the trailing Dash 9, #4663 was not so lucky, she was totalled. Here's a look at her from the St. Anthony Bridge. What kind of fate will this Dash 9 have |
