Oakway SD60's
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, April 10, 2001 3:40 PM
What are the AAR reporting markings for the Oakway SD-60’s? Since the Burlington Northern (now BNSF) do not own these units but rather purchase the power they produce, are these units assigned BN / BNSF reporting markings?

I went to www.trainscan.com and looked up AAR reporting marks by company. I didn't see any reporting marks designated for oakway so I assume they use BN/BNSF. I am not 100% positive on this. Maybe someone else knows for sure.
Hope this helps.

When the 60's were first delivered in '85 (I think), we were issued track warrants i.d. them as OWY9___. In 1996, after THE merger, their identity was changed to EMD9___, which is how they are addressed to the present.
