Edwards Air Force base has been the home of some strange sightings. UFO's, top secret aircraft, Sasquatch and all manor of weirdness have been sighted either in or around this sprawling military complex deep in California's Mojave desert. Knowing that is was only fitting that I came upon a rather unique BNSF train parked on the outskirts of the base. A rather short train with a stunning seven units of power, each from varying periods of the Santa Fe's recent past. Of course three BNSF locomotives were included in this vast consist but what stood out amongst all the orange were a blue and yellow GP39-2 and a warbonnet GP60M. Finding a GP60 on a BNSF freight isn't quite like spotting Sasquatch but the GP39 is another story. 2856 is one of fifteen such units (numbered 2855 - 2869) produced for the Santa Fe by General Motors way back in 1975.
