BNSF 4560--- BNQuality?

Posted by Wyatt in Ohio on Tuesday, March 4, 2008 6:56 PM

strangely enough, this unit carries a conrail quality door on the nose.

NS 8447 carries a BNSF door on it's nose... looks like its NS, but look close and you can see its just a very dirty BNSF door

looks like the shop guys somewhere had some fun with these two units

If you can't find me in Deshler, I'm either eating, sleeping, or dead.

Parts is parts. Sometimes you have to use what's available on the spot.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
