Santa Fe Retiree
Like a retired person with an easy side job after retirement, BNSF #1653 sits at Malden, Indiana at the end of the stub track for the elevator. The former C&O line that the elevator serves also stubs here as well. It's difficult to drive by it and not stop to take a photo, considering how easy it is.
BNSF rebuilt GP9u #1653 was built by EMD as ATSF GP9 #725 in May of 1956. This locomotive is probably one of the oldest in-service diesels around.
