At it appears that the sale to GECX was extremely recent. I found a picture of BNSF 4823 (still as BNSF) in a shot from August 2020 in Iowa. Granted, that shot had it in a deadline, for perhaps it was sold directly from there in the last few months to GECX. Kinda interesting how BNSF sells off a unit like this, only to then pay to lease it back! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

That would be due to the fact that this is an ET44AC. This is GE's Tier 4 emissions compliant unit. They have already started delivery to BNSF as of this picture, but they are still undergoing some testing in coal service.

These are ET44ACs, GE's new Tier 4 emissions compliant units. I shot them a week earlier coming in to Denver on a Z-Train. I had heard that they were going to be used for testing in coal service. Guess this proves it! Two units pull a coal empty north (timetable west) on Main 2. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

While I realize it may be a bit redundant to post roster shots of all four units, I prefer getting good coverage of units that may be unique and are unlikely to be seen - at least by me - again in the future.

It is quite large and has a descent slope to it. The single number board on the back is an interesting feature too. I wonder if this will be an option that individual railroads will go for...

It was back here in August of 2015 when GE sent some of them to Denver for testing in coal service to see how they'd hold up.

They do have a few key differences, however, such as the bulge sticking up along the top of the long hood, an increased slope on the radiator housing, and new grills along the air intakes.

A quartet of ET44ACs are being moved to Denver on the ZCHCDEN. These Tier 4 emissions units, built by GE, are going to be tested in coal service. As of January 1, 2015, all locomotives sold in the United States are required to meet Tier 4 standards. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

You may not know it at first glance, but this SD40T-2 was in fact DRGW 5374 once upon a time! It might just be the most renumber ex-Grande unit out there. It was DRGW 5374 until August 18, 1999 when it was repainted and renumber UP 4059. Eight months later, it was renumbered UP 8629 to make room for the SD70M's. Two years after that, it was again renumbered to UP 2897. It stayed that way for 18 months until it was retired on October 13, 2003. Then, finally, it was reactivated (as a leaser under GE Capital) as GECX 2897 on April 29, 2004! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
