Substitute Power
It is always nice catching the Union Yard/Midway Yard job when the usual 1824/1896 pair has gone to Northtown for refueling or inspection, etc., as the replacement power always seems to be something different. Back in mid-December it was an SD40-2R/SD75M combo that had the honors as they pulled a cut out of Union and headed over to Midway. Seeing one of the ex-ATSF ex-SD45-2s that are captive to Northtown is fun too. BNSF 1571 (ATSF 5702) was one of the five SD45-2s back in the day to wear the bicentennial scheme for a couple of years.
