This Railpower Technologies (RPI) RP20BD locomotive, numbered 5406, carries no visible reporting mark, so conventional wisdom has it as a Foster Farms (FPFX) unit. Then again, it could also be owned by Associated Feed & Supply Company, who banner hangs on the shed behind it, but reportedly it is owned by FPFX. This locomotive was built by General Electric as Conrail B36-7 5021 in December 1983. It later became Norfolk Southern B36-7 3609 on June 1, 1999. Railpower eventually acquired it and in January 2007 it was rebuilt into RPRX RP20BD 5409. Click HERE to see this locomotive seventeen years earlier, in 2007, on the BNSF Railway in Fresno.
