Well, again crusing the net and saw this pic of BNSF #5960 in Kodachrome colors with a Big BNSF on the side... what a sight!

Any word on those stored units? Are they dead, retired, beat up, or just unused? And why aren't they leased out rather than stored? With all the CEFX and LMS units out there, you figure the BNSF units could be leased out cheaper, as half-price lease rates are better than zero ROI.
