New power
Title:  New power
Description:  The big thing in the early 80s was the hordes of SD 40-2s that were being acquired by just about all the Class 1s, and BN was no exception, especially since they were just on the brink of an explosion of coal traffic out of Wyoming. Here are two of the new units. Note the Frisco box at right.
