I caught this fellow in Torrance CA today. I’ve never seen the Burlington Northern colors modified this way. Has anyone else seen one like this?
BNSF 2911 and 2931 are the only engines painted this way. I have seen 2911 before at Rochelle. Great shot!
No, I haven’t seen that particular logo on the front of a green BNSF engine, but it is certainly well familiar to me from the sides of some TOFC that I have seen going thru Rochelle, IL and also it was (or has been and still is?) used for many years on the sides of the fluted bi-level Metra coaches running the “Raceway,” BNSF’s only commuter line into Chicago. The original BN green-diag is not that unusual but no, I’ve never seen them together.
Congrats! You caught a rare bird–IMHO anyway.
And there’s no splinter calling itself a “swoosh.” [:)]
Having read the post above my original one, I must concede to EJE’s superior knowledge and experience.
Just two engines in the whole system! I still think that was quite a catch…[8)]
BTW does anyone know offhand how many in-service engines the B’ner has in service, approximately?
