Cabless SD40-2B BNSF 7198

[BNSF_GP60M]

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

(Note: not my pic, just an example.)

Somewhat strange that they did not move the dynamic brakes forward in this instance.

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?

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.
