RYE JUNCTION WA Nov 19 2012 -- BNSF GP39-2 2959 has just coupled onto three covered hoppers and is ready to return to its train which is sitting on main one south of the junction switch. This is the interchange track with the Portland Vancouver Junction Railroad in Vancouver WA. EMD built the 2905 (s/n 786224-2) in May-June 1979 for Santa Fe as ATSF 3684 and delivered it in yellow warbonnet. On Sept 22 1995 it was transferred to BNSF. On Feb 14 2000 it was patched and renumbered BNSF 2959.
