Looks like BNSF still has former BN cabless SD40-2B 7198 in service as a remote control equipped loco. Formally BNSF 7501, it was renumbered when ES44DCs hit the roster. BN rebuilt a handful of SD40-2s and GP38's into B units after becoming wrecked.
very cool...it seems strange to see 6-axle B-units like this...especially in such new paint....
interesting thought while on this....have there been any cases of larger, newer units (SD70's, Dash 8/9's, etc.) being converted to B units?

BNSF 7199 has its dynamic brakes over the former cab area.
