Nice video, Kyle. That local you saw on the BNSF is the R CAL0011, the "011", and is based out of Northbay.

@kodachrome9319 yea i've heard of that symbol before, but i forget about it when i was out there

Awesome catches, especially the BNSF stacker with 2 Warbonnets up front!

Loved the GP60M. Id trade them all the B40-8W's just for a couple of them lol.
