Description 8/20/92: One of BN's crash rebuilt SD40-2s. On the 7502 the dynamic brakes were relocated to the end to reduce heating from the prime mover. Built 3/73, now a Galesburg R/C Hump unit BNSF 302. [link]
All that lovely Cascade Green at the Clyde Locomotive Shop!

As of 1988 they had three, cabs were removed due to wreck damage. As of now I believe they are still around nos. 300-302 (hump yard power).

Now there's a lucky catch. I've wanted to see one of these form myself ever since I found out about them.

Thanks, I think she's still maybe in Galesburg, according to the link, as part of a hump trio.

I'm going to build a model of her if I ever work up the ambition.

I'll get to it eventually. I'll take a crack at it once I find a couple SD40-2 shells.

Very rare, they only re-built a few w/o cabs due to crashes.
