As BNSF Railway High Priority Merchandise train H-BARPAS7-18 passes through Kansas City on a long detour as it heads from Barstow CA to Pasco WA, we see Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe SD45-2 5704 on KC Union Statin’s Track 27. This 1973 EMD product was recently saved from the scrapper’s torch and restored to its attractive 1976 Bicentennial paint scheme. IN a few more days, this locomotive will be placed in BNSF Priority UPS-LTL Intermodal train Z-LPKLAC6-22A to be ferried dead-in-train to Los Angeles, California, where it will be stored awaiting a transfer to the Southern California Railroad Museum in Perris once the rail connection is restored.

Displays of American pride, and spirit! Equipment painted Red, White, and Blue! With an honored salute and tribute to our veterans and troops added too! Patriots can still be found to join this gathering of Patriotic Pride!
