Viewing Album:  Philadelphia: The City of... Oil Trains?
 
By:Adam Christman
Dates:12/2/2013 - 12/2/2013
Album Info:Monday Funday! At least that's what it turned into. It's not to often you can catch TWO SANTA FE-painted engines on two different railroads within about 20 miles and 3 hours. Not to mention another oil train with three BNSF pumpkins on the point. This day out was completely spur of the moment and it was rewarded with great results.

BNSF 673
Title:  BNSF 673
Description:  NS 65W with BNSF 673 on the point. The old soldier has seen better days, and I'm sure will find its way to a paint booth on the BNSF system. This would be oil train #1 with BNSF power in the lead.

BNSF 673
Title:  BNSF 673
Description:  A better close-up view of the battered engine. It's hard to believe an engine only about 20 years old is considered by some to be a "relic". Well, appearance-wise.
