Yes, it's still there, but I think the CF7 is blocking that view now. |

I ran by this afternoon and she was behind the 484, it is one if the old BNSF B23-7's they where had to catch when they where on the rails so this one is a nicw buy for the Commercial. |

Thanks for the info Andy that is a rare unit indeed, BTW the 484 was still blocking any chance of a shot this morning. |

I've stopped by several times since seeing MNNRFan's photo. It is buried deep. |

The never ending power swaps of the RR continue, this unit was sold two weeks ago and has left commercial property without ever being used. It sounds as if they got more $$ for the unit than what they paid for so it made good biz sense to do it but not so much for us railfans

You can add the former BNSF 4208 to the list of new power at the commercial. I spotted this unit last week at NTW near the turn table and this morning I spotted it at the MN Scale building across from the MNNR's yard office. It is in a great spot for pictures if you run by for a shot. |

Former Conrail B23-7 1969 last seen at the Commercial yard back in Feb 2008 has returned to the yard one year later as the MNNR T-3. |

Umm, that SF30B is still alive and well folks, and lets just say she looks "interesting" now. Dont worry looking for it, its in the roundhouse. Alec |
