I felt like this was a pretty fantastic find! A pair of BN (yes...patched BNSF...but still Cascade Green) switching together on a yard job at 31st Street. Note the second unit might, at first glance, appear to be a GP30. And, it did indeed start life as exactly that. However, BNSF no longer has any "true" GP30s left on the roster. They have all been rebuilt and this unit is now designated as a GP39-3. If you look close enough, you'll note the center (smaller) radiator fan has been removed.
