563 is in great shape and LUGO. -Layed-up good order-. no mechanical issues, and she has PTC. doesn-t make any sense to put her in storage, especially since the railroad is in short supply of locomotives. She-s not for sale, and hasn-t been taken off the roster, so perhaps she-ll just sit idle until they figure out they need her again.
563 was on the SPUD local in Wenatchee last winter/spring. My hog and I got to bring her back west over the cascades, not leading, but for power to get over the mountains on a Q train. It-s still a very strong engine, not worn out yet.
The 505 is still on the roster as well. Last I checked, she had a bad turbo and is slated for repair. 505 is not in as good as shape however, she-s tired. Trucks are worn out, everything in the cab is worn out, engine is tired. but she-s still got some life in her. They need to fix her.

Nooooooo I saw this at Murray Yard about a year ago and didn't have my camera and missed my one chance to get a picture or video of it: ( I might've got it in one of my videos somewhere though Idk. I read the description and it said BNSF 563 was sidelined so BNSF 570 might still be in service and it runs in the Midwest where I live (hence my username) so I might still have time to somehow find it for one final time.

- 4: 07 it appears 563 is doing Jingle Bells on the bell rather than the horn. - With all the modern power coming into the picture, you really come to appreciate the old school power that roams around out there. Something I'm always kicking myself about because I seem to have taken a lot of old school power for granted, only to find out right before or oftentimes after the fact that they're all gone.

I'm certain these will be good units for smaller lines. Pan-Am could snag a few, my question is what BNSF will do with their Dash-9s. Some of them are being rebuilt into AC44C4Ms but the rest? Could be useful for a class II, maybe WSOR can get some to spice up the SD40-scape its current roster is, lol.

I was lucky enough to see BNSF 556 and 503 work at Commerce, CA for months they had awesome sounding rs3l-s but unfortunately BNSF took them back to Barstow about 4 months ago which I caught them on the LACBAR through Commerce.

I used to see the ATSF GE 8-40 's and the EMD GP-60's and 60B's run through Devore on the way up of down from Cajon Pass. Those were the backbone of the ATSF Fast Intermodal service from LA to Chicago. They did render great service.

I thought the future was going to be good, but all it is for me. is just hell, every locomotive retiring, and I always keep missing out, because my family is just low on money. I wished I was born in the 1970s.

Wow, what's up with those B Units (cabless locomotives? I thought other than those old chopped down ALCO that Conrail had back in the day, the only B Units were the old EMD F and some old Alco locomotives.
