Scott Flynn	General	I have only seen one other shot of a burgundy B&O engine, thought it was a myth-Nice catch	8/29/2005 6:59:09 PM

George Neat	General	Great catch, I have heard of them but never believed it, now I know. When did you catch that?	9/5/2005 11:35:08 PM

Chad Malinovsky	General	Maybe it's just really filthy!	4/17/2006 6:28:09 PM

Brent Jackson	General	7409 looks like its been blasted but-good with iron dust. Filthy is right!	4/22/2006 10:51:13 PM

Ron Moraca	General	Marvelous look-down photo at a B&O SD35 in...burgundy, John!!! I've never seen one before, either in person or in a photo. It must have been a real anomaly.	5/14/2009 9:49:18 PM

Curt Beal	General	Upon reading the description, about it being leased to Republic Steel, what you are seeing is the steel mill residue on the locomotive. Underneath it is the usual B&O color.	12/5/2010 7:02:34 PM

Ben Scanlon	General	SD35s always manage to look like beasts. This one takes it to a new level.	2/9/2023 11:43:30 AM

SD-35 7409 leads an eastbound out of Sand Patch Tunnel. The unit was returning to Cumberland after being leased to Republic Steel. Note: the remote control lights next to the horn.
