Wasn't Sure this ran after June 79
This weeks 1st SNS is BN 4369, 838 and 2530 on a northbound at Portland on August 1, 1979. I'd found 4369 at Livingston on shop trucks out behind the big ex NP shop in early June 1979. A shop worker there at the time said they awaited permission from "higher management" on whether to repair or retire this big. Shockingly apparently permission to repair must have been received if the date on the slide is correct. Anyway BN didn't get a lot out of the repair of 4369 as it along with the rest of the BN Alco fleet slowly started to be removed from service in late 1979-ealy 1980. Photo by P.K.
