| BNSF GP39-3 2550, built as ATSF GP30 1205 in April 1962, idles in the pocket near the yard office in BNSF Murray Yard on a colorful April evening. As the sun sets over North Kansas City, with a little imagination, this scene can take you back to the good ol days when these classic EMDs could be found on almost every road train. In the modern age, locomotives like this old workhorse are mostly confined to local operates and shortlines. At one point, ATSF 1205 was on some of the hottest trains on Santa Fes system, but now idles in its current demoted state in Burlington territory. |
