BNSF 9275 Thompson 2 Jul 07
BNSF 9275 leads a trio of elephant-style SD60s south with Cohasset coal empties in Thompson, ND.
At the time, I assumed the leader was a re-painted SD75M, but when I got home, I realized it was actually a SD60M. I'm not sure how many dual-window SD60Ms had received the H2 scheme, but it was only a handful. My favorite locomotives to catch during my time in North Dakota were in fact the dual-window SD60Ms...in whiteface green. But this was still a worthwhile catch as all-DC-powered coal trains could still be caught on northern plains coal despite the ever-increasing numbers of AC-powered units...
