Welcome to

Driving past South Seattle on Wednesday 11-18-09 I did a double take as I passed some BNSF power at the north end of the yard.  Trailing of three units was NS SD60 6668 in fresh paint.

With all the wide nosed units I have been seeing on the BNSF catching a non-wide nosed unit, and an off line one at that is quite a treat!  Too bad it wasn’t sunnier but I still thought it was a pretty nice catch.

The 6668 was delivered new to NS in December of 1988 so right now it is a month shy of being 21 years old.  Looks pretty good for a locomotive being around that long.
