Rarus Unit. Patriot Rail Corporation's Butte, Anaconda & Pacific Railway (BAP) 103 (formerly Rarus Railway Company/Butte Anaconda & Pacific 103, GP7, 6/1953) was sitting at Columbia Grain in Rudyard, Montana on the hazy afternoon of August 2, 2021. This unit handles the loading area at the silos as a switcher, working with BNSF Railway to interchange cars. The colorful unit has ironically has been with the railroad long enough that it had the same name when it was delivered, but wears presently wears the intermediate Rarus Railway herald.
From a hint of "Bee" (NKP 765), colorful "Bees" (KCS), "Bees" w/ "attitude", to "Bees" that "sting" your eyes, in their own way they have "Bee" on display! Equipment that "Buzzes" with Yellow & Black colors! ("Bees" can still "Bee" entering this "hive"!)
