1995-1997 BNSF the Merger Years, SD40-2, C30-7, C40-8W, SD70MAC, C44-9W, B23-7, B30-7AB, GP30, B39-8!
The Burlington Northern Railroad created in March 1970, a product of merged railroads in itself, and the historic Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, established in 1895, merged to create Burlington Northern Santa Fe. The corporate merger began with the creation of a holding company on September 22, 1995. In the years following, the operations of these two very large railroads were combined. Experiments with paint schemes took place, and locomotives from the predecessor railroads could be seen anywhere throughout the new 32,500 mile rail network. From BN SD9 units in local service to massive SD70MAC diesels hauling coal trains in the mountains, the variety of locomotive types and color schemes was unparalleled. From the Chicago Subdivision in Illinois, to the Pikes Peak Sub in Colorado, to the Panhandle Sub on the old Santa Fe transcontinental route in Texas, the Big New Super Freight railroad was undeniable.

Thanks so much for the footage Walt! BNSF’s early years are basically my favorite era of the RR! It’s sad to know most of the power they had back then is no longer in use. Like every six axle Dash 8 has been retired including all standard cab B40s. Many of said retired Dash 8s looked really rough too. They still have most of the wide cab B40s left, some have since been scrapped or sold but at least some of the remaining ones are being rebuilt and repainted. I was also surprised to see the infamous Ex BN 5017 appear in this. If you didn’t know, 5017 was involved in the horrific Lac Magantic Rail Disaster back in 2012 or 13. Not sure what happened to 5017 ever since, but I’m guessing it’s been scrapped.

No. Lead locomotives must have control stands, which the 7ABs did not have.
