| AT&SF SD45-2 5702 at Argentine Yard, Kansas City, Kansas on August 14, 1975, Kodachrome by Paul L. Strang, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built in May 1973 (c/n 72642-16) this was one of five AT&SF SD45-2's known to have been painted in Bicentennial paint. It was outshopped by EMD in standard AT&SF blue warbonnet paint, was repainted at San Bernardino sometime around May-June 1975 to bi-centennial paint, repainted back to blue warbonnet August 17, 1977, rebuilt at San Bernardino to SD45-2u 5842 outshopped in October 1986, and became BNSF 6492 January 29, 2000. I count 19 stars on this side, does that mean anything? |
