[rickyguerra4]

Allot of times a BNSF locomotive will come into a UPRR repair facility for repairs, well the BNSF locomotive needs to go back home so the railroads will use it as usable power back to its planned destination,

[singwith]

Oh, i didn't know about it. Thanks for follow up!

[The40MAC]

Hahaha UP has brought or in other words draged an BNSF ES44AC from the east from Coal city since BNSF uses there ES44AC's on coal, grain an other heavy's east an far north which means you got a 2 rare catches together.

[The40MAC]

Almost for got to say you have 3 rares in this time it's a None flaged SD70M Flared.

[singwith]

why none flaged sd70 is rare?

[The40MAC]

The SD70M with Flared Radiator's an just the lettering an no flag is rare because I think there is just 10 of them.

[singwith]

other night, I saw SD70M? with "we will deliver" sign. I think that's rare.

[The40MAC]

Did you catch the number of it?

[singwith]

yes, #8074. also at the same time, saw 6781 with tiny window on the front door like BNSF train was interesting one too.

[The40MAC]

well 8074 is an SD90MAC an 6781 is an AC4400CW.

[singwith]

ahh, sorry, I know nothing about what type of engines.

[The40MAC]

Well you can learn from me since I am an expert on trains ( mainly modern ones ) an I have to teach my relitives when they don't know something an wonder why trains do this or that.

[singwith]

Thanks!

[singwith]

Haha, I guess I should be happy with I saw this.

[grooveheorem]

UP is in negotiations to buy NS.....sad...but true..it will all fall through though.....

[singwith]

NO!!!  How did you know about it?

[grooveheorem]

my uncles best friend (basically like my godfather)is an engineer for NS.....something like 140 billion in cash and liquid assets....trackways and equipment......

[singwith]

Hmmm, I hope your uncles best friend is wrong!

[grooveheorem]

yup....so do I...

[cwazymbfan]

I doubt it will fall through...what UP wants, UP usually gets.

I've heard the same type of rumor, only that UP and CSX are negotiating a merger. Fist I'd heard of NS.

[grooveheorem]

NS was a last minute(and I do mean last minute) negotiator...so now there were three...so far as i have heard, everything has stalled...CSX wants to revise the deal...giving up too much trackage rights in the western/eastern seaboard corridors...(????????????????)

i've seen them before on UP trains and vice versa, but not too much foreign power recently. even at commerce, i havent seen too much foreign power on bnsf trains either. hmmm

[singwith]

I have not see that BNSF using UP engine. Do you always go Commerce for railfan? I have never beed there.

[SpecificationR]

I go there whenever i can, which is saturday afternoons. haha. theres always two elder gentlemen there watching too.

[singwith]

[mikokat]

WTF!!!!!!!!

[NSNCRailfan]

Nice!! They are common. But not too often with a lash up of UP SD70Ms and a BNSF GEVO sandwiched in between.

[singwith]

I have never seen them before except Brian's video. Only one time, I saw UP and NS consist.
