BNSF SD45-2Bs 6522-6523 GN SD45-2 6484 are ex-ATSF Bicentennial SD45-2s 5703-5701-5704.
All three units reported as going to Progress Rail in Memphis for scrapping.

It's absolutely amazing those SD45-2Bs served there entire career without ever having been repainted. They didn't even make it in to the Bluebonnet scheme!
|
That is the blue bonnet scheme. As they are B units, there was no need to paint the yellow as per a cabbed loco, they would never lead. Painted the same way as F series B units.
|
Actually, there was one sd45 in full yellowbonnet. But subsequent sd45 and sd45-2 units were painted with yellow ends. Presume because it just didnt look right since it could never be a lead unit.

Greg- May I have a road number for that locomotive please?
