BNSF 1553 is part of a pool of BNSF SD9's that are hanging tough
Title:  BNSF 1553 is part of a pool of BNSF SD9's that are hanging tough
Description:  These motors are especially preferred in the Pacific NW because their short frame for 6 axles are well suited for that curvy region

The BNSF still has 4 operating SD9s on the roster in 2013.
Title:  The BNSF still has 4 operating SD9s on the roster in 2013.
Description:  BNSF got many SD9s from the BN via the Great Northern and CB&Q. SD9s once locked couplers with steam engines in the 1950s and served making money until current day in 2013. Great Northern SD9s did not have dynamic brake bulges on the long hood. Four remainming SD9s are #1550-1553. A few were turned into slugs, one slug is at Northtown in Mpls MN.
