I was running errands in Winnipeg this past Friday, and I drove by BNSF's yard since I was in the area. As it happens, the BNSF train was ready to head out to Fort Rouge to do their exchange. I circled around and got to the crossing at the right time to video the train going over Taylor.
BNSF 2756 pushed two tank cars and their caboose, BN 12580, decked out in the full Operation Lifesaver colours.
Oh, here's a video of BNSF 2756 in Minot, ND back in August 2010. It is leading with BNSF 2978 trailing. Interestingly, 2978 was also a Winnipeg resident back in January 2010!

Another New BNSF Unit in Winnipeg
A new (to Winnipeg) BNSF unit arrived on Wednesday (Feb 10), as reported by Jeff Keddy. I saw it Thursday noon at the BNSF yard off Taylor Avenue.
BNSF 2978 didn't last long! It arrived on January 5.

BNSF Changes Engines
BNSF 2001 was replaced as the Winnipeg engine by BNSF 2978 on January 5, 2010. Jeff Keddy reported it and saw 2001 in the CN Fort Rouge yard that afternoon. BNSF 2978 is a GP39V. I saw it in the BNSF yard off Taylor Avenue on Tuesday (January 19). BNSF 2001 arrived in Winnipeg on or near October 14, 2009.
