BNSF Railway (BNSF) 2948 - EMD GP39-2

BNSF Northtown Yard, May 4, 2024. Many stored BNSF engines because of the downturn of coal traffic. I have never seen so many engines stored! Hopefully they will be used again! "Railfan" Gary Sample showed me his friend Frank! He showed us Northtown Yard and we stayed at his place! (Canon T-90 35mm S.L.R. camera, Fuji C200 print film)

BNSF 2948 now a remote control unit for the Vancouver flat switch-n-sort yard sits just to the north of the wye at the Amtrak Station in the southern throat to the Vancouver Yard somewhat near the new official "Vancouver Center" sign (hopefully this means the recent spat of construction/maintenance is over and they can get back to full operation.

BNSF 2948 and BNSF 2959 wait patiently along the back-up power siding of Vancouver Amtrak Station guarding the bridge over the Columbia River.

BNSF 2948 in cluttered view either just out of the doctors office or heading in - difficult to tell.

Had a few mods over the years, still looks and sounds good.

Heading out to switch the many spurs along the south side of Yardley Yard.

Out in the rain like me.
