GWRS 575 Former BNSF575 GE B40-8W (Dash 8)

One of two former BNSF Dash 8's this one 575 and the other 563 sit at GWRS yards in Assiniboia SK and await repairs.
I wonder how 575 will handle the cold weather of Canada's north.
She entered service with S.F. in the Illinois area and was repainted to BNSF colours and worked around Berwyn Illinois
until mid 2004. She then moved on to California and worked in Oakland, Fremont, San Lorenzo & Richmond from 2006-present.
The warm California weather has keep these power units in very good shape....
GWRS now has seven power units in total.

Given GE's history for spontaneous combustion - she might be too warm!

Caught in early transformation…nice. Business must be good for GWRS with seven units now.
