Title:  ATSF 8146
Description:  ABO NM July 6 1986 -- The desert is green and the sky stretches forever at Santa Fe C30-7 d8146 leads an SD 40-2 and two SD45s on the Tanscon. GE built the 8146 (s/n 43573) as an RCE Locotrol master in June 1981 and delivered it in yellow warbonnet. As part of the proposed merger of Santa Fe and Southern Pacific it was painted in SPSF red and yellow warbonnet sometime between July 31 1985 and July 7 1986. It was retired in SPSF paint, leased to GE in December 1989 and was placed in the GECX lease fleet. It was leased by Union Pacific between Feb 20 1990 and March 4 1990 and carried the number UPL 8146. It was later leased by BNSF, patched and renumbered to BNSF 5189 while still in SPSF paint. It is listed as being Laid up pending disposition at Pasco WA in April 1999. A Gene Crossett photo shows it in West Burlington IL and reports it went to National Railway Equipment Co in June 2002. It is also listed on the April 19 2012 Minnesota Commercial Motive Power roster as No (MNNR) 56.
