Santa Fe SD40-2 and A Burlington Northern SD40-2

An interesting lashup leads this Eastbound stack train at Savanna. The two railroads that made up BNSF are still in their own paint schemes.

Awesome catch! Long live Santa Fe and Burlington Northern, two of the finest railroads!

A True Favorite, Real GM EMD units pulling a stack train. I wish they would have least put four on it though. But since GM isn't with emd anymore locomotive variations are completely different now, but can you imagine this a GP90H-2AC! A 6000hp 4 Axle Locomotive but it is built on an SD40-2 frame for better weight distribution. That 265 4-stoke H engine will do good for a loco like that (I believe). But the EMD SD80MAC should have been more popular with Class 1 railroads,they were good locos

Sad to say, they probably got scraped

[rockguitarist946]

i know, EMD has soul man! GE is just trying to make money. i wish EMD still made 6-axle locos like they used to, before this "eco-friendly" thing kicked in. and i have not been able to get a definition on what that means yet

I see the same things lol. But, I have seen at least one leading a BNSF intermodal recently. Personally I like the Ace's more than GEVO's.

[rockguitarist946]

i know, all i see is freaking CW44AC's, Dash-9's, or some variation of the ES44 series. its getting so annoying, i dont even see the SD70ACe any, and thats a really popular locomotive

Une santa fee est une belle machine mais la + de 105 wagons qu'elle force !

[railfan101]

I feel ya bro. I'd rather see some older power myself. (Gettin' tired of GEVO's lol.) I don't see any Geeps or SD's near my place anymore.

sorry im just really upset! HOW DARE THEY RETIRE THE F45s! Its bad enough that they retired the Warbonnet Paint scheme. now THIS! WTF is next...................."lets retire all the SD40s." Peace Fellow Railfan
