BNSF Consist You'll Never See Again!

[amtrak706]

Awesome RS3L on the 6464!

[kmothersil]

In my opinion while the F40PHs served Amtrak very well, The SDP40Fs looked like the proper engine to be pulling Amtrak passenger trains. roundhouser question. Was the SDP40F your rarest catch ever?

[nyshortline]

Holy Heck you got an SDP-40F!! TREASURE THIS VIDEO!!

[Crazytrainkid]

DANG!!! Santa Fe, A Burlington Northern (BNSF) I Love that Santa Fe F40 unit!!!!

[peterandben]

Love this video!

[xMIAMIxHEAT]

haha bringing it back old school

[ggh783]

GNGJKH



[EverywhereWest]

Wow, who knew everything would be so different ten years from then. You're lucky to see an SD40-2 on a BNSF freight now. Great video!

[PunkyBear36]

People please, this is NOT an FP45, it's an SDF40-2. Get it right!

[shadowknight227]

@Wafflesinger666 I do too, my friend

[shadowknight227]

Wow. It has been 10 years since. REST IN PEACE, FP45s!

[joshbreyes]

Nice video! I only seen the SD45-2's in heritage 3 paint.

[lotsoftrains123]

NOV 2nd day after my B-day :)

[Barricade360]

wooo was that lead unit an SD60???? and i wonder what happened to that yellow bonnet Fp45?

[RailfanTube]

@Barricade360 It looked like an SD45-2 to me. SD60's had the dynamic brakes in a different place.

[trainguyONR]

Awesome consist and great horn

[dwkcamman611]

Epic catch indeed!!!

[RellyOhBoy]

Its like Train porn for these guys.

I'm in to Aviation porn myself tho.

[FECRWY]

Too bad this was Post-Merger...Still a great catch nonetheless

[trainmasta227]

Neat catch

[trainmandan05]

Sweet!

[GintaPPE1000]

ATSF SD45-2, ATSF SD40-2, ATSF FP45, BNSF SD40-2, BN SD40-2-THE best of EMD! Oh, and Im glad BNSF9250 closed his account, that asshole.

[walkerbelle]

Cockroach2008 is a perfect argument for abortion & birth control. What a complete lack of intelligence, human or otherwise? I'll bet his mommy is real proud of him!!!

Hey! Great little video and you are 100% correct... we will NEVER see that again. Nice capture, thanks for sharing!

[Evansville64]

Nice COWL unit catch!!! Awesome!!!

[adam1234a]

dear roundhouser! u are a baddass! thanks man!

[trainwatcher116]

nice catch

[ACLTony]

Nice seeing that SDP40F. Only one survives today (painted in the MAERSK scheme). Santa Fe had traded Amtrak a batch of CF7s in exchange for 18 SDP40fs. The old girls proved to be reliable until their retirement. I wish that more than one had survived. I enjoyed watching those giants haul the Silver Star and the Champion back in the 70s.

[BNSFandSP]

Sure as hell won't!

[maniacmarklewin52]

great video

[theup3985]

Yep, that's definitely a sight never to be seen again. You're lucky to even see faded warbonnets anymore.

[badgerbuddy]

WHOA!!!... i ain't never seen an Fp45 with old santa fe colors!.... very good consist indeed!

[fixierider97]

DUDE!!! That's an awesome consist!!!

[Bartman1764]

i noticed no one said that there was an unpatched bn unit if u look real closely u can see it say burlington northern no lie look for your self

[ValIs4NU]

It is hard to tell based upon the low resolution/quality of this video, but I believe that there is a BNSF patch below the BN logo on the cab.

[Bartman1764]

im it was along logo underneith u sure about that

[ValIs4NU]

I'm not sure what you are looking at as the quality of the video is so poor. The person working the camera was zoomed in on the Pumpkin unit when he quickly zooms out. But what I could see sure looked like a BNSF with the number underneath it. on the cab. The long "Burlington Northern" may still be there in spite of it being BNSF'ed. I have seen that before several times.

[12train1]

BNSF9250 ih hate you

[shadowknight227]

@12train1 It wasn't him. An impersonator. BNSF9250 has a zero. the impersonator has a O. O =/= 0

[RailsandRoads]

wow

[mexicandude97]

is that fp45 still romin around

[ValIs4NU]

I believe that the unit you are referring to is actually a former Amtrak SDP40F which Santa Fe remanufactured into an SDF40-2. And to answer your question, there are no FP45's remaining on the system. They were all retired and donated to various museums across the country.

[rockguitarist946]

damn the BNSF paint scheme looks like crap!!! at least they made the green black now. i really wanna know where the hell they got orange out of green, black, red, and silver. and the red BNSF on the ex-super fleet engines doesnt look good at all.

[BNSF9250]

your dum. BNSF is perfect

[Rztaylorjr]

Nice Catch

[atsf484number3751]

AWESOME 5*****

[Andrewsaxamophone]

Your in the way! LMAO

[ic6071]

DAMN!!! That would be so sweet to see again!

[LenaVideos]

HOLY SHIT!!!

[fafnir242]

DAMN, that's a nice horn on the 6464.

[deathstarmygnr]

It's not an FP45 or an F45. It's an SDP40F. After Amtrak purchased new F40 units back in 1976, most SDP40F units were sold to EMD. Some were still kept by Amtrak, but in the early 1980's. In exchange for some SSB EMD switcher rebuilds done by Santa Fe, Amtrak traded it's remaining SDP40F units to ATSF.

[ravenhawk6910]

That's not an FP45, it's an SDF40-2 and it's number 6965. It's one of the 18 SDP40Fs that Santa Fe bought from Amtrak in exchange for CF7s and SSB1400s.

They lasted the longest of all the cowl units on BNSF, and one was repainted in Maersk Sealand colors for the opening of pier 400 in Los Angles. It was number 6976, and it's the only one the was saved. Now on the Portland & Western it bears the number 644, it's Amtrak number, with it's Maersk markings painted out.

It's now DLMX 644.

[UPHeritage]

good old FP45's. This would have been awesome if that Bluebonnet was a warbonnet FP45.

[trainamtrakcsx]

OMG a f45!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[Mafcoupe1930]

did you happen to catch the number on that loco?....couldn't tell in the video and I was planning to look it up on BNSF to see if it is still around

[NewEnglandRailfan79]

It looks like it reads 6955, thats what I got when I paused it.

[patrikk123456]

1305 looks like

[atsf484number3751]

it is an f45 nice leslie horn

[TrainTrackTrav]

Love the way those EMD two strokes purr. I remember Decmber of 96 so well. My dad took me train watching in Hesperia, CA. We hear a rumble, an EMD rumble we look over and there in front of us were six unpatch Santa Fe and one BN SD40-2s pointing a stack train. That is the only thing I remember from that age because I was only two.

[BNSF2184]

you might as well post a response to this with something like 3 Dash 2's. cause thats something you wont see again.

[EMDFAN1988]

Now that is what i call classic emd muscle.

[307OLDS]

yes sir CLASSIC EMD that we will never see again, and that's a damn shame. especially that FP45!!! what a Beautiful machine

[EMDFAN1988]

Yup, I never seen her in person. But she was damn powerful. the 20 cylinder engine from the sd45 this was pasicially a safecab unit was a full cowl right.

[TheGondorian]

what is the 3rd engine? its beautiful

[SkyhawkACE123]

FP45

[cbehr91]

The F45, F-45 & SDP40F (SDF40-2 under ATSF) were all very similar looking. That one was an SDF40-2. 100% sure.

[cbehr91]

It's FP45 not F-45, sorry.

[adam1234a]

this guy is correct, its a cowl body SD40-2 just like what CN had. All are now gone minis the Dale mcornmnic unit. Orignally from amtrak. Traded to ATSF for cf-7s and alcos.

[GCFX3072]

Man! This is AWESOME! Right to my favs!!

[4449steam]

I just posted a video response for where the SDF40-2 is today that I took

[flexspinner]

and wat a shame

[JR7582]

Wo! Great Consist! A SD45-2 and a F45, in 2001! Wow, didn't see much of that on Class ones then.

[cbehr91]

It's an SDF40-2 not an F45. That was their last year in operation before being put into storage.

[fastlane250]

Then they later being scrapped in 2002. there is still one out there, I think its in Oregon. (last time I checked)

[cbehr91]

Yeah, it's painted for shipping company Maersk. It's numbered DLMX 644. It's in service on the PNWR (not sure what that means). There's a video of it here on YouTube.

[SD457500]

Great catch!

[randommagnum]

Can you believe that guy?! If Cockraoch2008 isn't simply a run-of-the-mill troll who just likes to stir up hate and discontent, then he might be the most obtuse, maladjusted person in the WORLD.

[roundhouser]

I get so tired of these people who like to hide behind a computer and cruise around and stir shit up.

[jamesmiltoncox]

Nice vid, you know you can setup that only comments you approve will show, that would eliminate that problem, that's what I do.

[TrainDr101]

How's all that freight going to make money for the RR if you don't have any way to move it?! You can't have a train w/out either the cars or the locos. How can you call yourself a true railfan when you're criticizing these train vids like that?

[legsbluetrain]

Locomotives are a part history.

[BNSF2184]

the only thing missing was a BN C30-7.

[ERIELACKU34CH]

that really is amazing

[Ramstinn]

why they througing the F45 away..

[pengapop12]

nice consist and good soundin leslie horn

[Linkdude678]

Awesome catch!!!!

[BNSF5608]

I'm glad BNSF still has the SDF40-2's (Correct ATSF term) They are in storage somewhere in Kansas?

[CRPULSE300]

My understanding is they were sold and almost all scrapped.

[BNSF5608]

Most were sold but alot are still stored IIRC.

[CRPULSE300]

IIRC?

[BNSF5608]

If I Remember Correctly

[LenaVideos]

This makes me think that BNSF still uses the

F45s.

[thetrainman407]

BEST CATCH EVER

[BoxcarFrank]

Too bad that Heritage 1 SD40-2 was in there.

[BNSF9250]

I know that there are some unpatched BN's, still plenty of SD40-2's and some SD45's!! the only one not around now is the SDP40F!!!!!!

[danschueth]

Tell 21 to get out of the way! Ha, never never again on that consist.

[rockchickvw]

Awesome catch for sure!
