[CBQ] A pair of ex-CB&Q's in Seattle Aug 2009

["BrianA" <briannpman@comcast.net>]

Back in August I photographed a pair of green BNSF locomotives at Seattle's 
Balmer Yard on 8-8-09 not aware they were both former Burlington units. (it was 
a pretty sure bet the GP40E was!)

BNSF 2907/BNSF 3026 are classed as GP39E/GP40E by BNSF but on the Burlington 
they would have been a GP35/GP40 set.

BNSF 2907 - BN 2907 - BN 2531 - CBQ 985 

BNSF 3026 - BN 3551 - BN 3004 - CBQ 174

Here is a shot of the BNSF 3026 at Balmer Yard on 8-8-09.

I can't recall the last time I photographed two CB&Q units together by 
themselves so this was a pleasant surprise.  I can almost picture them both in 
Chinese Red.
