AT&SF SD45-2u 5828, Corwith Yard, Chicago, Illinois, September 27, 1986, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in June 1973 as AT&SF SD45-2 5680 (c/n 72642-37), it was rebuilt at San Bernardino in July 1986 to SD45-2u 5828, although it appears it was assigned number 7228 in anticipation of the SPSF merger, which was denied by the ICC in July 1986. It was repainted back to standard AT&SF blue sometime before January 1991 and became BNSF 6478 on January 25, 2000. |
