Caption: The BNSF 25th anniversary engines are certainly impressive, especially considering the effort CN put in for its 100th, LOL. The BNSF scheme certainly stands out in the crowd though I do miss the original logo over the "swoosh". Hearing that 6179, one of a group of 25th anniversary units had made it into Ontario was certainly enough to make rail fans take note. I missed its eastbound trip, and figured it would head west last night on 141, but as luck had it the unit lasted long enough to head out in daylight on 147. Here the clean GEVO is seen trailing CP 8771, as it rolls past the Ardent elevator in Streetsville under decent light.

I’m sorry the BNSF number did not register with this semi-educated railfan; for I knew it was on #147. (
Nice catch.
