Sean Gulden	General	BN 6330 was part of a group of SD40-2's acquired by the BN during January-February 1972 numbered BN 6325-6339, and BN's first acquisition of this model. It was repowered with a 12-cylinder Caterpillar prime mover at the Galesburg Diesel Shop in December 1986. Reclassified a SD40C, BN 6330 retained its original appearance except for an SD45 tapered hood added to accomodate a larger radiator, vertical plate smoke deflectors mounted atop the roof behind the cab and Canadian-style snow shields behind the cab sides. Rated at 4,200 horsepower, it was BN highest rated unit and served satisfactorily until retirement at Topeka, Kansas in December 1998. It was to become BNSF 7600, but never had this number applied.
