BNSF SDP40 6327 |
| Description: |
BNSF SDP40 6327 was at Lafayette, Louisiana on Lafayette-to-Temple, Texas train H-LALTPL. It was one of only three units of this model on BNSF. The SDP40 was a rather rare model, as only 20 examples built: six as Great Northern 320-325 in 1966 and 14 as Nacionales de Mexico 8522-8535 in 1968 and 1970. The GN units were renumbered Burlington Northern 9850-9855 and then 6394-6399; although 6397 was temporarily renumbered1976 during the nation’s bicentennial. The 6394-6396 were retired before the BNSF merger, but BN 6397-6399 became BNSF 6325-6327. This unit was retired in June 2008 and donated to the Minnesota Transportation Museum for restoration as GN 325. |
