speaking of new BNSF locomotives, i heard something about a new BNSF ES44DC bursting into flames on one of its first runs. anyone know anything else about this at all?

The new BNSF SD70ACes are moving over the CN mainline in Michigan for delivery in Chicago. A BNSF SD70ACe was pulled at the end of a loco consist on the South Bend Subdivision after 8:00 P.M. on Sunday. A primer white SD70ACe was behind the BNSF SD70ACe.

Where do the new locomotives have to be to officially be placed in service on the BNSF?

A great number of CN trains end up at Proviso, but it does seem unusual that a UP yard is where BNSF locomotives are put into service.
