DBGX 6129 |
| Description: |
Benkelman, in the far southwestern corner of Nebraska, is home to a new grain elevator, which is switched by DeBruce Grain SD9 6129. This venerable EMD product rolled out of the La Grange IL plant as Colorado & Southern 837 in April 1959. The unit was renumbered Burlington Northern 6232 when C&Ss parent railroad, the Chicago Burlington & Quincy, was merged with the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Spokane Portland & Seattle. The BN would later merge with the Santa Fe, and this engine became, for a short time, Burlington Northern Santa Fe 6129. |

| Description: |
DeBruce Grain 6129 has a history. This notable SD-9 was built 4/59 as C&S #837, going to BN and then for a short time BNSF, before being put out to pasture. The unit was sent to DeBruce with her BNSF markings blanked out, but as it seems, they have 'mysteriously' reappeared....I beleive she now works at Benkleman for Kappa grain, whose staff seems to be taking great care of her.

High angle sun w/ low angle view made this great rear 3/4 photo! Kappa Grain has a new loop loading track at the location, the 6129 is parked on an inside siding for occasional car movement. Seems like the footboard had some repairs made, as well as a numberboard being replaced. |
