Welcome to

Photographed leaving the old Stacy St yard in Seattle (now SIG) is this local with BNSF 1573/2084 (SD40-2R/GP38-2) headed for Tacoma, WA.

BNSF 1573 was built as Santa Fe SD45-2 5663 in May of 1973 and later renumbered 7203 and then 5803.  After the BNSF merger it became the BNSF 6453.  It was rebuilt by RELCO and renumbered BNSF 1573 in 2008.

BNSF 2084 is an original BN GP38-2 built in May of 1972.

It is always nice to catch EMD power like this and I enjoyed listening to the units roll by with the SD’s whine and GP’s growl.
