Tried asking this on the BNSF forum with no answers.
What ever happened to ATSF's one and only SF30B?

All BNSF B23-7s and the SF30B have been retired and are pending sale as of the Spring of this year. Sales have already started, but there is no mention of the BNSF 4276 the lone SF30B as being sold. So at this point it appears to be for sale by BNSF. :-)

Now that you mentioned it I have not seen any BNSF B23-7 pictures recently. Looks like UP 107 was the last B23-7 in UP service when it was retired on July 21st (the one with the EMD cab). So, the reign of the B23-7 ended on Class One railroads when 107 was retired.
