The Great Pumpkin Chase
On Sunday night, I got to spend some time up on the St. Joe Sub after a concert in Atchison, and eventually ended up chasing a Siemens generator north a ways ( flic.kr/p/2nTCLCn ). The special went in the hole at Leavenworth, but I figured that I'd photograph whatever was coming at us, and sure enough, it was this rather nice looking BNSF SD70MACe on the C-EBMMLM2 88A.
This is the BNSF 9728, a 1996-built SD70MAC that was delivered in the post-merger Grinstein Green colors with BNSF hood letters. Around 2016, this unit was rebuilt with new electronics and traction motors, rebranded as an SD70MACe, and repainted in BNSF's Wedge scheme.
