BNSF 1726 - An SD9 Survivor

While this engine is already documented fairly well on the Internet, nothing diminishes the fact that this EMD SD9 has been going strong for 55 years! That's astounding, and a testament to the workmanship and simplicity of these old "Cadillacs."

This engine was built for the B&O as #761 in the early 1950s; today it's going strong in the yards of Seattle. For a picture of what this engine looked like as Burlington Northern 6247, click HERE.
