If you've ever heard the term "Pink-bonnet" to describe a Warbonnet-painted engine, here is a good example! It has been so long since these units were painted, many of them have faded to the point that the red is definitely now a pink color. BNSF 699 is one such unit, stored in the middle of Edgemont Yard in South Dakota.

Three strings of stored units extend to the far end of the yard in Edgemont, SD. A downturn in the economy, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic started, has resulted a major decrease in power needs for Class 1 railroads. Hopefully the economy will have a swift recovery and many, if not all, of these units can be placed back in service.

This Warbonnet looks to be in mighty fine shape as it sits in the yard in Edgemont, SD in storage. Note that the exhaust stack has been "capped", indicating a long term storage. This is a C44-9W, although these units are often referred to as Dash 9-44CWs. You can even note this designation painted on the frame!
