RS5T Discovered on BNSF

Post by Supertyfon Sam »

Back when BNSF 4717 had a damaged RS5T, I figured it was the only RS5T that has ever existed on the BNSF roster. After 4717 had its RS5T replaced, I figured that RS5Ts were extinct on BNSF. That was until I heard another RS5T on my stretch of the Galveston Sub. I figured it was foreign power, but then the same RS5T kept coming back randomly. I began to get puzzled, so I decided to go out and find the source of it. After hunting for it for a while, I finally found it. BNSF 2891. Not only did it have an RS5T, it was also paired with BNSF 1947, which has an RS3K! They were on the local that operates on the Galveston and Mykawa Subs regularly.

I caught the duo a few times, and was able to get some good blasts from both units today! And I also found out that the RS5T is fouled :/

Here's some video clips:
