BNSF 1594, The Greatest Northtown Yard Switcher.
Title:  BNSF 1594, The Greatest Northtown Yard Switcher.
Description:  I can't decide which of the Ex - BN SD40 - 2s to really like,it's between #1594 (My most favorite), #1994 (My favorite SD40 - 2 Roadswitcher), and #8012. I guess #1594 tops all of them. While #1594 is stuck as a yardswitcher as #1994 and #8012 are still in road service. I can see her much more often. So, thank you BNSF for letting #1594 take this kind of position and please keep her in this scheme, it shows true age then the repainted ones
