BNSF 2893
Veterans of the Rails
BNSF’s Oil Local leans inward around a sharp curve on the final stretch to Shelby. Today’s Oil finds the BNSF 1928 leading the way east as it returns to Shelby after spending the night in Cut Bank. This local has been known to roster a pair of veteran SD40-2’s regularly making it a fascinating train to catch, one of which is still in BN cascade green. However, today the BN painted unit would take a back seat as the 1928 leads.
