BNSF Train Help
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, March 17, 2005 7:58 PM
I was in Newton, Kansas today and saw a whole train of old reefers that were all rusty and obvioulsy arent used anymore. They were EB so maybe they were just going to Argentine. Does anyone know where they were going? Letters on the cars were SPSX.

The engines were BNSF 6329 and 6138. The roster I have says they are an SD40u and an SD9, but the SD9 wasnt highhood. When I looked for pictures on the Internet on a Google search it showed and SD40-2 for 6329 and highhoods for all the SD9's. Thanks for your help.

Actually BNSF has some chopped hood SD9's and some high hood SD9's as well, some in new H1 paint.
