Vintage Santa Fe! BNSF 714 Warbonnet with RS3L Horn!

[4K]
Quite the intriguing train this particular Monday evening in San Diego... BNSF 714 wearing the red and silver Warbonnet paint leads the V-SDGCLO train out of San Diego equipped with a nice beefy RS3L horn! As if this wasn't rare enough already, the train also had a CSX Standard Cab C40-8 trailing #9280. I caught it multiple times from National City up to Encinitas, CA.
This was a blast from the past for me! This classic Santa Fe paint scheme along with the RS3L horn was primarily all I saw as a kid from my trips to Cajon Pass back in 1994...to see this combo again in 2023 is extra special!

A warbonnet with an RS3L and a mechanical bell?! 714 is officially my favorite BNSF locomotive, now! Great catch!

That CSX locomotive is very rare to see it in Southern California and also the warbonnet dash 9.

BNSF 714 got into an accident in my area like two years ago

[@jamesburnside3023]

Great bonnet catch

[@jtsmith5903]

BNSF WARBONNET ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😱

[@satchuck]

Of course the 714 would try some retro fad (bonnet) and not be authentic (BNSF markings). Excellent catch!

I love the opening shot with the ship in the background

[@TrainsAreReallyCool]

That lashup is just 🥵🥵🥵

[@AmtrakCal462]

FIRE!

[@Ashley-wm7ix]

Even though the "Warbonnet" is worn and faded, it is still better looking than the the orange and green...

Terrific video

[@sandiegotrafficlightstrain354]

The mechanical bell at the cesar e chavez crossing is starting to die and the crossing signals at Harbor Drive at the start of the video are gone.

BNSF 714: HOW DID i HAVE A SANTA FE ON MY NOSE
CSX 9280: I THINK YOU NEED A RENAMED ON YOUR NOSE BUT YOUR STILL A BNSF AND YOUR WARBONNET
Bnsf 714: OF COURSE IM THE WARBONNET

I believe I saw you waiting by the yard office to record it leaving. I left just before it departed after getting photos.
