Well, besides B23-7s and SD9s, BNSF has retired their GP7/9/10, GP15-1s, SW200s and SW1500s. I guess the 1500hp 645s in those GP15-1s and SW1500s are no longer good enough, since BNSF has plenty of 2000+ hp road switchers on hand. The MP15s aren’t on this list though.

Those MP15s are still good, but I UP has some Green Goats that are what remains of SP MP15s.
Few have been retired from the roster.
BNSF order 42 3GS-21B Locomotive Green Machine Road Number “BNSF 1220-1261”. That particular model produces 2,100 HP [X-)]
Where did you get this list. The locomotives in black on the list are still in the computer. Thats a good chunk but not all of those locomotive models are gone. I am an engineer for BNSF and can give you by unit number GP7/9/10, GP15-1’s, SW1200’s and SW1500s in service. The B23-7s are all stored and most probably retired. There are still about a dozen or so SD9’s running around, they did just send six or seven to Topeka for storage. Here is one example. SD9 #1716 ex-BN 6119 nee-GN 592 ‘‘assigned to Grand Forks ND for use on yard lead, will doublehead with RCO engine’’. That was as of 5 seconds ago…

Enjoy! Let me know if this help out?
If there is a particular engine in question let me know, I can look it up for you. Thankfully theres representatives of each model still in active service. With exeption of the dash 7’s.
We have a GP30 dedicated to our use as our work train here in Seattle, it is always coupled to a GP39(2880) ex SSW
The GP38M,s Es, and Vs, are some of my favorite. The ones that retained the middle cooling fan look like as built GP30’s and 35’s. I set my personal career speed record on the BNSF 2826 (CB&Q 955) at 72mph (woo hoo!)on a geometry test train. Form my money the BNSF has the best diesel roster of the Class 1’s. I mean come on, who else has a Beep!
