    Sadly I heard otherwise for 2317. Nice shot. I’m glad I documented these when in solid BNSF paint as some are getting ugly patches.

    Did CN buy the BNSF units? I thought they were just leasing them.

    There’s 8 still on the property with 6 confirmed purchased. 2090 and 2968 remain BNSF on CN and no word on if they are purchased, or not. Only time will tell. The others are being renumbered..

    Wonder why BNSF are selling them. Still a fit engine Class 1′s use for switching. A downturn in service perhaps?

    It’s a good question. All I can say is BNSF is finally purging their deadlines, some after 15 years.

    There’s gp7′s and gp9′s that have finally been sold after going off the roster in 2007/2009 respectively.

    Almost 20 years in some cases…
