BN 9200 - the first of BN's "Big Bombers", an SD60 M, thirsty for refuelling at BN's Hobson Yard. The BN had played around with the roomier, safer "super cabs" on the system on and off for many years, but with the 60 M, they became standard issue on the newest locos. BN chose this new paint scheme for the wider cab. 7/1/95, Lincoln, Nebraska |

| Title: |
EMDX 9086 |
| Description: |
EMDX 9086 - this pair, leased to Oakways but wearing EMD colors, is in turn leased by the BN who only pays for the power the units use. This set, appearantly made up of SD60s, is interesting for the fact that they have a tender in tow, indentifying them as likely being natural gas-powered units. BN has also experimented with refrigerated liquified methane gas power as an alternative, cheaper power source. The engines are stopped at the fueling pumps in BNs Hobson Yard. |
