humm I created a monster but its geting intresting on here. I'm Geting loads of ideas here for some remodels/rebuilds.
The BNSF has BN/CBQ heritage GP30s that were rebuilt into 39-2s by MK. They also have a good pile of ex-ATSF GP30s and 35s, but I don't know if they are still original or have been converted. I have looked for anything painted on the unit that would give me a clue, but if it was originally there, its long gone now. The power BNSF uses on its locals (expecially that of ATSF origin) puts junk power gives junk power a whole new meaning.
Does anyone know what kind of guts are in the ATSF 30s and 35s? Some info I have found says that they were rebuilt with a V12 645E3, some says they have converted 645D primemovers, some say that there are still 567s inside them. Any ideas?
