Yes, that's what I was looking for Hol. And especially nice that the 969 was
leading too! Very nice look at a quartet of GP30's. The colors may be
different and some cosmetic work was done to the BNSF 2747 but nice to see
photos of that same locomotive when in Burlington paint.
And thanks Rupert for the suggestion of the Burlington in Transition book.
That's a book I don't have but just ordered a copy of it.
