A dreary winter day finds a leased unit trailing at Kinnear Yard on train 520 in the form of SD45-2 HATX 917, the former SP 9106 (built 1969).  The unit appears to have gone to G&W as HCRY 459 by 1998 (working on BPRR), and still operates there today, renumbered circa 2015 to BPRR 3063, and at some time rebuilt to an SD40M-2 retaining the SD45 carbody.The 4225, built by MLW in 1965, would be retired about a year and a half later in September 1996 and scrapped by American Iron the following year.  The 8211, built as 8663 in 1957, would be declared surplus in 2015, sold to RTEX 8211, later to Northern Plains Railroad of North Dakota as 8211 the same year.Bill McArthur Photo, Jacob Patterson Collection Slide.
