Description
Railroad Short Name: BN
Without a doubt, BN was very happy with the EMD SD40-2. The reliability and ease of maintenance made these locomotives a company favorite. BN’s operating territory in the mountainous Pacific Northwest included routes with tunnels, including the 7.80-mile-long Cascade Tunnel. Consequently, it doesn’t seem too far-fetched for BN to have possibly ordered SD40T-2’s to work this territory. In an alternate timeline, BN tested SP’s SD45T-2’s and SD40T-2’s, liked the results and ordered 20-units for use on former Great Northern and Northern Pacific trackage.
