Title:  BNSF'S East Thomas Yard
Description:  BNSF Yard Job Y-BIR204 doing some switching at the vehicle ramp at East Thomas Yard with SD60M 8169 in charge followed by an SD40-2 1596 to help out, it has been quite a while since Ive seen an SD60M around Birmingham, Al. so very nice to finally see one, they had been put in storage for a while, but have been brought back again, I think it had been 3 or 4 years since the last time I saw a former BN SD60M leading any train including yard jobs
