BNSF Railway (BNSF) 8230 - EMD SD75M

Bringing up the rear of 52T and the year of 2016.

Grain train 52T is the last train photographed in 2016 as heads down the Redkey south siding before reversing out onto the Marion Branch to head for Muncie.

In the early days of the NS regime, it was not uncommon to find CR painted units on many trains. Here 12T has a pair leading, one trailing, and a western surprise.

Photo scanned from original copy and taken sometime in 1998.

The warbonnet was hiding behind boxcars on the sunnyside

Next up we have a cool consist, a pair of Warbonnet SD75Ms leads a Heritage I SD40 - 2, and a SD70MAC, I don't have photos of the other 2 unhts, just this one

stopped at Oxford/Santa Fe

2 Warbonnet units still holding the Red & Silver well almost 12 years after the merger.

Warbonnets scream west past the elevators at Norborne with a grain load on the Ex-ATSF.

A pair of warbonnets start grain loads west after waiting for over and hour on a relief crew to show up. Well worth the wait to catch Santa Fe painted power next to the ATSF Depot.

Yes! A pair of ex-Santa Fe Warbonnets (along with a H2 Dash 9) leads a short concrete train north into Palmer Lake.

K803 approaches the CPLs at South Ottawa.

K803 heads south under the signal bridge at the North end of Cairo where we end our chase.

If you didn't know any better, we'd be in Nebraska!

We again catch the warbonnet pair at the south end of Ottawa siding.

Two red and silver SD75's lead K803 out of the siding at Deshler. What a sight!
