FURX 8118 Grand Forks 5 Jul 07 - a photo on Flickriver

            FURX 8118 leads a parade of elephant-style EMDs as it pulls the H-GFDBRC (Grand Forks, ND - Belt Railway Chicago, IL) out of the yard in Grand Forks, ND.

Not an uncommon sight in North Dakota in the mid-2000s.  Leased standard cab power was still hauling mainline freight at this point in time; the only oddity here was the NS SD60 splicing the Cascade Green leaser and the Oakway.

FURX 8118, as far as I can tell, never ran as a BNSF unit.  It looks like it made the jump from BN directly to FURX sometime between 2002 and 2004.  It appears to have gone into storage around 2010, but it was given a new lease (no pun intended) on life as it became NCRC 8118 for the Nebraska Central in 2011.  Good to see old power switch paint schemes rather than become paper clips...
