Alaska needs more power & more crews - summer season coming fast. Several years of North Slope oil exploration & construction - tons of pipe & frac sand coming into the state. Plus with Trump saying Japan is coming for national gas - should lead to more pipe coming up.
Ex-BNSF SD70MACs arrived early this morning. They will get vinyl wrapped - like the 2 Ex-KCS units.
Well cars arrived about a month ago.

RK, Great pics
The BN executive paint scheme (which those MACs wore when new) and the Alaska paint scheme are the same design, just different colors

I wish they bought the Green & Cream - lol.
A story that went around when the MACs were ordered. Tack your order onto the BN order for fast delivery - same paint design - different colors. Not sure if that is true or makes any sense.
I remember seeing a pic of an ARR SD70MAC (probably the last 70MAC built) next to a CSX SD70ACE at the factory
This is now 20 years ago (yikes)
Great pics! Thanks for posting!
