Before General Electric completed its own test track at its Fort Worth plant, new locomotives were tested on the BNSF Fort Worth Subdivision main line heading north from the GE interchange. The trains, with either two or four units, were operated by a BNSF crew with two engineers and a conductor plus whatever technicians GE needed. Here were new Canadian National ET44AC units 3055, 3058, 3056 and 3054 heading south at Justin, Texas just a few miles north of the GE plant. |
