Stored H3 GP28 |

A recently repainted GP28 sits stored at Northtown Yard. Even though the paint is new, someone has already tagged the back end. It'll be nice to see this unit when its back in service. Taken from East River Road. |

Stored Switchers |
| Description: |
More switchers have shown up at 44th for storage. These units have all had very long service lives, still, its sad to see them here. One thing to be noted is that the 3644 is ex CB&Q. A lot of former CB&Q units have been showing up too. |

More stored units |
| Description: |
The poor economic conditions continue to show their affects, as a new units are put into storage. I caught the 2157 with three other units on a train back in December. Sad to those ex CB&Q units going, but they've had a VERY long service life. |

Faded Gevo |
| Description: |
This Gevo isn't very old, and has already faded a great deal. I wonder how much worse these units are going to fade. |

BNSF 6813 |
| Description: |
After being tipped off about all the SD40-2s at Northtown, I made sure I got down there. So on the way to my grandparents house, I swung by the diesel shops and got there just in time to shoot the 6813. |

Moving around |
| Description: |
BNSF 3447 moves the 6813 around the shops. Soon the 3447 will pick up the 2288 and 6821 before coupling back up to the 6813. |
