Why not.      https://youtu.be/SetjSw_zksI

I shot this at Nisqually, WA yesterday at lunch, a running meet between a very short BNSF freight and one of the new Cascades Talgo sets. Note the GP-60B in the power on the freight.

It seems unusual to me that there were so many ex-BN units on that train. Is there any particular reason why? Or was the train just the luck of the draw?

Not that unusual for here.

Heck, a few months at the spot I saw an SD9 in the power of a train going by there...

From Beltsville, MD Day, May 15, 2016,  My Williams Superliner, with Lionel Baggage and MTH Transition cars, passes a fast CSX freight.

What's new in the Lionel Man Cave, on a hot spring day.
