Athearn N Scale SD75I Diesel Locomotive in Burlington Northern Santa Fe Warbonnet Paint. Road #8277.

The EMD SD75I is a diesel-electric locomotive produced by General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD). This unit is the same as the EMD SD75M, with 4,300 horsepower, HTCR-II radial trucks and a 72 feet 4 inchesframe. The "I" in the model designation stands for Isolated cab, this type of cab is recognised by a seam separating the nose and cab components. This seam is the rubber that dampens vibration and cuts down on noise, because the cab is not attached directly to the frame on the unit.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe purchased 26 units built in October 1997, many of which can still be found running today.

Only selling because this is surplus to my collection and I don't have a layout yet.
