| Description: |
This former CB&Q switcher is still alive on the BNSF in 2009. I first saw this unit back in 2006 and thought it had been retired from service, but it looks like this old guy is still earning its keep. |

The 6455 has some red paint comming through on the grills, maybe it used to be a kodachrome or bicentennial unit. The 6469 has seen better days too, I first saw that unit back in 2003 at the diesel shops. Even these units are stored for the surge fleet, it doesn't look good for them since their number boards are gone. Taken with permission. |
