Notes:  
A

Unit was actually the first of a six unit order from BNSF, to be numbered 1220-1225. That order was later increased to 14 units, presumably to be numbered 1220-1234. From Trains Magazine special issue "Locomotive" and an article by the Associated Press (http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/070306/tx_cleaner_locomotives.html)

B

Build information from photo evidence including photos of the builder's plate taken by Ken Lanovich at Dixmoor in early December 2006.

C

Unit shipped to Fort Worth to join the 1220. More recently noted in Houston.
