In todays video we see lots of yard movements, several neat hoppers, and even a few IPD boxcars. Then we visit Galesburg's locomotive shops and a storage track where we see engines of all kinds.

11:06 YOU CAUGHT MY FAVORITE! That engine used to come around here in MN all the time before getting sent down to Galesburg. I'm so happy to see it's still in its original BN green! I was worried it would be orange now 😂 So happy to see its still in working operation & in BN green. Now send it back my way, I need to get some more shots of that!

Glad to see that line of good power you caught! Really is surprising they still have that old GP9 sitting around. Not to mention that plow machine that’s almost 73! BNSF has at least 2 more of those things that likely have interesting history.

Yeah, I also can't believe BNSF is still holding on to a GP-9. I think that snowplow is called a Jordan Spreader, do you know where the other two snowplows are?

You must have been up right around labor day, with that 1458 sitting on the material shop lead. BNSF has quite a few Tier 4 EVO's - all the 36, 37, 38, and 3900's are Tier 4's. The blue GECX units were the original demo/test units that the were used to demo the Tier 4's, the better part of a decade ago now. Those GECX Tier 4's are now used by the CN.

Yes, I was filming this video just last week actually. See I knew that BNSF has ES44AC's, but that GECX demonstrator engine is an ET44AC. I didn't know that the ET44 was the predecessor to the ES44. I thought it was an innovation on the previous models. Either way, thank you for letting me know. I'll watch out for these engines if I ever railfan on CN tracks someday.

It hurts seeing the BN SD60M in Galesburg. Not too long ago, 1458 was based in Northtown yard up here in Minneapolis. I caught it leading multiple times. When it was sent off to Galesburg I was pretty sad.

BNSF has a few hundred Tier 4’s. If you go to the Transcon, you can probably catch a few. I’m almost certain that the GECX unit was there because CN has been using those and the Citirail ES44’s that BNSF used to use.

Gosh! Your videos always amaze me with their variety of locomotives and rolling stock, aided in part by your willingness and readiness to change venue all over creation! Kudos sir. How do you know and spiel off the model numbers of every locomotive in your videos? Are the ‘roads loco rosters accessible by the public on the web? Sure hope you can find time to respond.

Thank you so much! I know the locomotive models though experience, reading the fame of the locomotive (which is usually where the model's listed) and Google. Yes, locomotive rosters are public knowledge. You can find them pretty easily.

I think that LUB is a spot for keeping track of when the car's moving parts were lubricated last. It's like writing down when your last oil change was in your car.
