    BNSF Is Not Repainting Old Units? Really?

    There was a thread recently complaining about BNSF, among other things, not repainting old units in the new orange scheme. Take a look at this old GP39. picture taken 12/31/14.

    Today's lunch shot

    I've noticed in my area {Seattle-Tacoma) that UP SD70ACes, like your leader there, tend to have strident, very unmelodic horns. Maybe that is what you heard.

    Why is BNSF not repainting their old diesel locomotives to the new paint scheme?

    There were two Pacific Prides. BN 2075 was Pacific Pride I. It had a mechanical problem (fire?) early on and was replaced by BN 2085, called Pacific Pride II. Both are now lettered BNSF with the original roster numbers. I found a picture of 2075 still in Cascade Green leading a train at...

    Why is BNSF not repainting their old diesel locomotives to the new paint scheme?

    Come to think of it, BNSF has the only true heritage fleet of the class ones: Three variations of the latest pumpkin puke. Untold variations of the BN green and black (counting white stripes, white face, tiger stripes, etc.). Hundreds of "Executive" SD70MACs. Transition war bonnets with BNSF...

    Why is BNSF not repainting their old diesel locomotives to the new paint scheme?

    Well, what do you know. My sarcastic post did what I hoped it would do. Stirred up at least a little discussion here. This used to be a great website, but something happened. It kind of died. Maybe this is typical of lots of internet discussion sites. They just kind of run down. Railfans...

    Why is BNSF not repainting their old diesel locomotives to the new paint scheme?

    Yeah, and why does UP keep using that old yellow we are all so tired of? With that ancient shield on the front, yet. And the US flags getting dirty and tattered on the sides. Should be illegal. And don't get started on NS. Black with a horse? You can't even see the things in the dark. And...

    I'd rather that lead unit was still 9249 in Cascade Green, but it looks pretty nice, anyway. I don't remember seeing another three window one in Heritage paint. Great catch.

    My one trip to Cajon I didn't stumble into any scene like that. Great picture. Like the power, too.

    Great picture! Love everything that is going on in the picture. Excellent DOF; notice the close truck on the left. Now, about the B&W (ducking and running for cover). John
