Crew 2 departing Stacy Yard, Seattle, 11-23-2015
Today I'm outside Stacy Yard in south Seattle. It's a normal winter day in Seattle - bitterly cold and heavily overcast.
Two locos just entered the yard running light power. They hooked up to a string of cars and waited for the yard dispatcher to give them permission to head out.
Took awhile, but they finally departed. This is Crew 2, they service customers in south Seattle, Tukwila, Auburn and then go down to Tacoma Yard.
Lead loco is BNSF 1461 (SD60M). I've seen her and other SD60M's on this local job several times.
The other loco is a leased unit, NREX 5974, ex-UP. She's a SD60. When the SD60 came out, they had the conventional cab with a narrow short hood, later models like the SD60M got a full-width short hood and the wide cab or North American Safety Cab as it's also called.

do railroads buy or just lease trains. i know at times they lend to each other. good video. great catch.
5974 was actually built for CNW as their 8010, before going to UP in 1995.

+Dan Blink Correct. After UP sold her, it looks like she was owned by a couple of different leasing companies. See this page for info and photos of her in various liveries: www.rrpicturearchives.net/locopicture.aspx?id=198059
