TIT NO
Title:  TIT NO
Description:  Parked at the Texas International Terminals is an SW1500 and SD40-2 both sporting a RailTex-like red and gray. The numberless SW1500 was delivered to Southern Pacific as SP 2611 SW1500 in December 1971, to UP 1179 on March 25, 1997, to UPY 1179 on August 19, 2003, and retired on November 23, 2010. The faded rear number board on the SD40-2 still displays 6931 which gives away its identity as a former Chicago and North Western diesel with TXXX on the cab, an invalid AAR reporting mark. Note the former Amtrak MHC boxcars parked in the background.

Title:  ITSX 3446
Description:  Built new for Great Northern, these two units arrived at the KCS Dallas Intermodal Ramp to replace two tired and unreliable Family Lines GP16s.

Built in October 1967 for Great Northern as GN 208 SW1500 later becoming BN 208 then BNSF 3454 until retirement in September 1999. Now owned by Helm this switcher was leased it to ITS Technologies and Logistics as ITSX 3454. Initially this switcher was given ITSL reporting marks then later changed to ITSX as evidenced by the slanted 'X'. Note the oil stained hood, a sign of an ongoing mechanical issue with the prime mover.
