BNSF 3033
Title:  BNSF 3033
Description:  Might as well grab it when I was in the area, since I'd never personally seen a locomotive left in the ATSF "Yellowbonnet" scheme before. A straight GP40X is pretty rare on a Class I these days, as well! Unfortunately for me the BNSF Rochelle local usually goes to work in the morning, and with work till noon and a 90-minute drive down from Madison; I was too late to catch it in action.
