| The BN took over the Milwaukee Road's Sumas to Lynden branch in 1980 with the rest of the line to Bellingham being abandoned. In its later days, the Milwaukee ran everything from GP9s and SD7s to U36Cs on this route. BN sufficed with whatever was assigned to Sumas as a switcher. Today it's GP38-2 2091, which has completed its morning duties at the border town and is on the old MILW rail as it heads for the Dutch-influenced village of Lynden. |
