Buyers Inspection

While the future was leading this business train as the BNSF 3272 brings the train back towards Helena, the past got to ride along as MRL 4408 trailed on the other end of the train. Due to a lack of ability to spin the consist for a variety of reasons, it was decided to have the OCS train run as a 1x1 set instead of having the power consolidated on just the one end. As such, it felt fitting that MRL 4408 was chosen with it’s clean paint and striking deep blue color standing out nicely against the snow that still covered the landscape. What will become of these blue ACe’s after the BNSF takeover is anybody’s guess, but I doubt there’s gonna be many more chances to shoot a blue, black, and white ACe with a full string of stainless steel around this neighborhood.
