Were the F units pulling or was the 3984 pushing?

3984 was only on so they did not have to turn the train.    The locomotives were purchased from Canada by BNSF and I suspect they updated their service as well as adding the ditch lights, etc.   They were donated to the Museum as a gift so the Museum can run fan trips to continue to raise money and rebound from the hurricane that hit them.
