Great Northern SD9s at Mpls MN 1973 after the BN merger.         
GN ordered their SD9s without dynamic brakes. The blue scheme started around 1967. SD9s served on the BNSF up to 2011, and some serve as slugs in 2012. SD9s once locked couplers with steam engines at the end of steam in the mid 1950s. Some SD9s remained in GN paint until 1978.
