BNSF 1220
Posted by Lyon_Wonder on Saturday, March 10, 2007 10:40 PM

Looks like BNSF now has new Genset engines, numbered in the 1200s and painted in the New Image.   BNSF's Genset appears to have a normal EMD GP-style cab and not the high visibility cab as seen on MK/GP15/20D series of Cat powered swichers, though this engine looks like it was built new from the frame up.   http://www.locophotos.com/PhotoDetails.php?PhotoID=52940

Nice to see some Gensets up and running.
