BNSF Locomotive Storage Statistics
Author: natemuh

Sorry the collumns didn't stay in place. Each line lists the models, locomotive numbers, the number of engines in storage, the location and some notes...

From a conversation with the Motive Power Desk, here are a few updated locomotive storage statistics on the BNSF system. These are only some of the more interesting details, not a comprehensive roster of every stored locomotive. (Of course, some of this data may not be totally current based on BNSF's computer)

Model Numbers # Location Notes
GP60B 325-347 28 Chicago-Corwith
8-40BW 502-580 33 Mostly Galesburg, Barstow
8-40CW 900-951 152 Mostly Los Angeles Entire Class
GP15-1 1478-1498 13 scattered
SD9 1714-1752 22 scattered
GP38/-2 2107-2378 55 mostly Topeka
GP30 2400-2477 75 mostly Barstow, Topeka Entire Class stored
GP35 2500-2649 136 mostly Topeka Most are Laid Up "PE" (What's LUPE?)
SW1500 3400-3470 47 various BN Terminals
SW1000 3501-3652 45 various BN Terminals
SLUGs 3950-3977 21
B23-7 4214-4269 18 Topeka Laid up FS - many ATSF B23-7's are now off the roster
AC44CW 5603-5717 115 Lincoln All consecutively numbered
SD39/ 6300-6399 199 I grouped the SD39,SD40 and SD40-2's all in this group
SD40/ 6700-8064
SD40-2 1854-1946
SD45-2 6450-6523 37 Mostly Temple, TX
SD60M 8100-8199 100 Various BN terminals Appears to be the whole class
SD75M 8200-8301 94 Mostly Northtown Appears to be the whole class
B40-8 8600-8639 38 Galesburg, Kansas City area
SD70MAC 9401-9551 97 Alliance, NE
_________________________________________
SD40-2 FURX 7207-8135 121 Wichita Falls
SD60 EMD 9000-9098 Creston, IA
_________________________________________

A few questions:

Are the SD75M's actually in storage? Seems like we've been seeing them in helper service on Crawford, and making it to the west coast.

What has the disposition of the B23-7's been? Are they being scrapped or sold?

Clalvin, you'll be so glad to know that your mind can rest easy and that you're contributing, too.  Oh, it's gonna be BIG.  Yeah, really BIG.  Yeah.

Interesting they have North Baltimore, Ohio as the western terminal on the I-70/76 corridor and not Chicago. I guess Chicago is getting to be too much of a clusterfuck.

As soon as LAMCO builds their spur to North Baltimore, things will really start to happen.

Isn't that the name of the game? Cover as many ports as you can?
Wouldn't make sense to spend all that money to reach one port...confuse

 Now if yer talkin going north west towards Chi town, the line from Richmond west was sold to a short line RR (Buckingham something), wasnt suitable for long heavy fast trains. Next chance to go northwest ya gotta go south to southern Georgia.

Besides, Sluggo and I will like the increased traffic our way!

Why would a ship go all the way up the bay to Baltimore when Norfolk and Portsmouth are right off the ocean.  Also in year or so Norfolk and the Heartland corridor will be the fastest route to the midwest. 

 

 west towards Chi town, the line from Richmond west was sold to a short line RR (Buckingham something), wasnt suitable for long heavy fast trains.

What about the other route that runs along the James river?

 Shipping companies are like Airlines. Ships like Planes, only make money when they are moving. Waiting in the Harbor, or off the coast waiting for a dock burns up money.

It don't look it on the map, but around Sluggo and I's route is just about 100 miles shorter than west from Richmond. That and its Double track TCS all the way. West of Richmond is single track most of the way to Charleston and then a bottleneck around Russell Kentucky.
