Stored BNSF engines |
| Description: |
Today marks Day 5 of our Galesburg RR Days Outing. This morning we went to church and started heading back east towards home today. The original goal was to follow the Mendota Sub east out of town to Mendota where we would end the day, but plans changed that as trains began to converge on Galesburg throughout the day. We began the morning by going to church and then starting the day just west of town on the Transcon where there are several older BNSF engines (many of which are in BN or ATSF paint) are being stored, awaiting to be put back into service, or awaiting a scrap yard. It would have been awesome to have gotten closer to these engines, but this was the closest I was able to get. |

BNSF 577 |
| Description: |
Ultimately this was the unit I came out for. Only 1 of 2 of the Bluebonnet B40-8s remain. This was the first of the two. The second one was also included in the train that came into Saint Louis from BNSF, but it was bad ordered at Indy and not added to this train. |

BNSF 584 |
| Description: |
Then last but not least, BNSF 584, one of two B40-8s in Bluebonnet paint left in the world. Extremely sad to see these classic GEs go, but Im glad I took the time to get photos of the ones I could, especially the ATSF painted ones. There apparently is 1 or 2 H1 B40-8s left to come, but those dont intrigue me as much as the Bluebonnets. While I might regret wasting the gas now, I definitely will be happy I went and saw these engines in years to come. Some really, really good and rare catches. |

BNSF 597 |
| Description: |
Far, far away from home... the engines I came down for trail on CSX M332. A good portion of the standard cab B40-8s never made it out of the H1 scheme. Its a shame to see them go. |

A big cluster of CSX units sits at the engine shops in the Selkirk yard. Selkirk is a very cool and large yard. I recommend any out-of-town railfan visitor to this place try it out! You wont be disappointed! |
