ATSF SD40-2 #5210 [ATSF Photo Archives]
: Vinton, TX. Sep. 10, 2015
In the late Thursday morning at Vinton, TX, these built in the 70’s locomotives were found. They were assigned to the local/switching operation serving suburban El Paso.
BNSF SD40-2 #1770 was built in 1978 as ATSF #5210. It was later renumbered to BNSF #6955 and finally became #1770.
BNSF GP38-2 #2024 was rebuilt in 2005 by NRE from high-hood SOU GP38 #2814 built in 1970.

The previous day, a little younger brother #1755 also in ATSF scheme, built in 1981 as ATSF #5187, was found switching at Belen.

ATSFのカブースと同時に見た、ATSFスキームをいまだ纏う機関車もあげておく。
BNSF#1770は1978年にATSF#5210として製造された機関車。次位の#2024は1970年にSOU#2814として製造されたhigh short hood機を改造したもの。2005年の改造であるが、まだピカピカである。
前日にBelenで見たBNSF#1755は#1770の同型機だが、1981年製造と少しだけ若い。
