Santa Fe Switcher
Once the domain of 4 axle EMD products, the march of time has instead found BNSF bringing more power to the table as a group of former Santa Fe dash 9’s was sent in for retrofitting with remote control equipment. Once at home on mainline trains through the high desert, these big GE’s instead populate major yards like Galesburg and Northtown moving long cuts between the various sections of these large facilities. Seen here drilling cars from the south end of the yard, BNSF 627 brings its short train under the ex Soo Line and towards the St Anthony’s Park bridge for its required headroom inside the yard itself.
