BNSF 2550
Title:  BNSF 2550
Description:  The hot August sun bakes the fresh paint on nearly spotless BNSF 2550 GP39-3 parked at the BNSF Irving Depot. Delivered to Santa Fe as ATSF 1205 GP30 in April 1962, renumbered ATSF 3205 April 1970, then rebuilt as ATSF 2705 GP30u in August 1982. It would receive SPSF paint in September 1985 but returned to standard Santa Fe dress in January 1991. On March 7, 2000, it was patched BNSF 2405 then retired and parked in 2011. On April 14, 2016, this engine rolled out of the Relco shop in Albia, IA, as BNSF 2550 GP30-3. During rebuilding this Geep lost the distinctive GP30 cab but kept the car body. Note the oversized antenna plane mounted over the air conditioner units.
