Subject: [CBQ] BNSF 2747 > former CBQ 969

 

Yesterday on Christmas Eve 12-24-11 I drove to Tacoma, WA in hopes of photographing something in ex-BN green and got lucky with the BNSF 2747 which was still in BN green colors:

The 2747 was built as the CB&Q 969 and renumbered BN 2246 after the 1970 merger. It was later rebuilt to BN GP39E 2757 and after the BNSF merger reclassed GP39-2R and renumbered BNSF 2747. I can find photos of the former GP30 in the BN and BNSF eras but can someone suggest where to find photos of it as the CB&Q 969?
