This is why I always liked the early BNSF days. Lots of different locomotive types in lots of different liveries. Even today you can still see some H1, H2, warbonnets, and BN executive MACs mixed in with all the H3 GEVOs. And even then, BNSF uses multiple types of GEVOs. Although I never saw a B unit myself, only yard slugs.
More great stuff Sir! The good thing about modelling the BNSF, is that we can have all these great pre merger colours as well! Wish I was there back in 99, but the station has had a major facelift since then, I hardly recognised it to when I was there in 2015. I liked Flagstaff , a nice town and lots of rail traffic. Cheers Gregg.
Her in Texas you still see all of the bnsf schemes and still see Santa Fe schemes but bn green? Very very rare. I drive through the two large yards in Houston then drive through port of Houston so I seee soooo much different motive power and one of the yards often times I’ll see rare bn executives from time to time
Hey I love that SANTA FE 5510 loco I think it's a B 50 with no cab, AWESOME, AWESOME, IVE NEVER SEEN ONE IN POSITION LIKE THIS AS A DPU AWESOME, YOU JUS DONT SEE THESE ANYMORE. 😁🤠😉👍.
For such a happy merger they sure tried to cover up their heritage as fast as they could. Should have just kept one of the original paint jobs or a combo of both.

Too bad its a quiet zone now. Railfanning a good spot is not the same without the horns.

They tried a combination of both. Fans dubbed it the barfbonnet.
Can you post the full videos of these trains
If you mean the entire train, sorry no. I don't shoot that way.
SantaFe AllTheWay That is what I meant, I just wanted to see how many cars long theses trains were.
SantaFe AllTheWay But I am not going to force you.
It's not a matter of forcing. I simply didn't record the full trains at the time.
SantaFe AllTheWay That's fine
was this video all take on a single day?
Yes
The only B units left on the roster are the GP60Bs the GP38-2B and the SD40-2Bs which are used at Galesburg Yard in Illinois
And most of the GP60B units are used for the Barstow switchers in California
I miss Bnsf having sd75m's
When were the SD75Ms retired?
@@carlzipperman6689 7 of them were sold to ns, the rest of them are sold to PRLX. BNSF kept 45 of them and were rebuilt and repainted
