COOL UNIT |
Description: |
Can't believe it. I never thought I would see a NS SD70M again, but not only it is a SD70M in NS paint, it has the flared grills. I used to own a N-Scale KATO NS SD70M before trading it to my dad for a UP SD70M |

BNSF 4663 Totalled |
Description: |
There are many words about this Dash 9... Totalled... Busted... Wrecked... I was in Rochelle, IL when this unit was involved in a derailment in Fridley. The frame of this Dash 9 is intacted, but the rest of the unit is totalled. I believe this Dash 9's fate might be the scrap yard, but can BNSF save this unit? |

BNSF 4663, the Fridley Derailment Unit |
Description: |
On July 16th, 2011, a BNSF Grain Train was making a usual run like all the other trains through the Cities, when the a bridge in Fridley gave way from a washout out from the summer rain. The lead Dash 9 only tipped over with minor damage, but the trailing Dash 9, #4663 was not so lucky, she was totalled. Here's a look at her from the St. Anthony Bridge. What kind of fate will this Dash 9 have |

I'm not sure what is going on, but this UP GEVO was not running and sitting face foward to a set of boxcars, either this unit is a bad order or it was having some sort of trouble |

This is a Ex - SP Dash 9 trailing a UP SD70M on a EB Snake Train. It was the third of 3 Snake Trains we saw. Nice to see the UP Dash 9s up and about |
