ITSX 2847 and 4028 |
| Description: |
In-Terminal Services (ITSX) SD40-2T 2847 was parked at the ITSX service area in Haslet, Texas. ITSX switches the nearby BNSF auto ramp and the intermodal facility at ALLIANCE YARD. The locomotive had been built in April 1972 as Southern Pacific SD45T-2 9209, was rebuilt as SP SD45T-2R 6832 in February 1988, sold to a leasing company and then leased back to the SP. It became a Union Pacific loco when the UP merged with the SP in 1996, and after its lease expired in late 1997, it was sold to Locomotive Leasing Partners (LLPX). It was rebuilt by VMV at Paducah with a 16 cylinder, 3000-horsepower prime mover and was leased back to the UP as the 4815 on 16 February 1999. It was renumbered 2847 on 28 September 2001 to make room for a new SD70M and was retired by UP on 31 May 2003 upon the expiration of its lease from LLPX. LLPX sold it to First Union Rail (FURX) and it was leased back to UP on 17 July 2003 as part of its peak power program until it was retired (again) on 26 June 2008. In the background is ITSX SD39 4028, which was previously D&I 4028 and originally SP 5321. |

| Description: |
In-Terminal Services (ITSX) SD39 4028 was at the ITSX service area in Haslet, Texas. ITSX switches the nearby BNSF auto ramp and the intermodal facility at ALLIANCE YARD. The unit had been built in April 1970 as Southern Pacific 5321 and was sold in December 1986. It became Copper Basin Railway (CBRY) 302, then Helm (HLCX) 3950 and then Helm (HATX) 351. As the 351 it and sibling 5325 were as painted and lettered RIO GRANDE for use in the 1996 Paramount movie SWICHBACK. It became Andesite Rock & Gravel (ANDX) 4028, but it remained in the D&RGW paint scheme until 2006, when it became D&I Railroad (DAIR) 4028, and it went to ITSX in 2017. |
