		<title>BNSF GP28M 1512 (BN 1512 &#8211; BN 1787 &#8211; GN 714)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last June I photographed BNSF 1512 in Seattle and have been wanting to do a bit of research on this units history which dates back to 1957. The 1512 was originally built as GN 714, one of 10 units numbered 712-722 delivered in the Spring of 1957 equipped with dynamic brakes in the Classic Empire [...]]]></description>

		<title>BNSF 2185 &#8211; BN 2185 &#8211; CR 7863 &#8211; PC 7863</title>

		<title>BN SD45 6463 to SP 8668 (to UP 2744)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In January of 1969 EMD produced SD45 522 for the CB&#038;Q. It was one of 15 SD45&#8242;s built for the Burlington numbered 516-530 and painted in the green/white scheme. After the BN merger in 1970 I only noted one CB&#038;Q numbered SD45 in the Seattle area and that was the 522 coming into Interbay on [...]]]></description>
