[quote user="Lyon_Wonder"] <p>Well, besides B23-7s and SD9s, BNSF has retired their GP7/9/10, GP15-1s, SW200s and SW1500s. I guess the 1500hp 645s in those GP15-1s and SW1500s are no longer good enough, since BNSF has plenty of 2000+ hp road switchers on hand. The MP15s aren't on this list though. </p><p>http://www.aslrra.org/images/news_file/BNSF_Sale_List_4_07.pdf </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Where did you get this list. The locomotives in black on the list are still in the computer. Thats a good chunk but not all of those locomotive models are gone. I am an engineer for BNSF and can give you by unit number GP7/9/10, GP15-1's, SW1200's and SW1500s in service. The B23-7s are all stored and most probably retired. There are still about a dozen or so SD9's running around, they did just send six or seven to Topeka for storage. Here is one example. SD9 #1716 ex-BN 6119 nee-GN 592 ''assigned to Grand Forks ND for use on yard lead, will doublehead with RCO engine''. That was as of 5 seconds ago...</p>
