ATSF 5250 - BNSF 6960

Class unit 5250 poses at Belen in 1986. The front steps are already plated over and the handrails wrapped around.

Nine years later, notched and noselighted 5250 offers a roof view while working a westbound through Barstow, CA.


SDF40-2's 6960 and 6972 were at Stockton, CA on July 30, 2000. The lower photo shows the rear portion of the 6960; note that the original ATSF number, 5250, is still stenciled on the frame and was not immediately obliterated when the unit received its BNSF number
