BNSF C-44-9W #4715 has been spotted in H3. I think this is the second BNSF Dash 9 to be repainted into the new scheme.
Opps, I have spoken too soon. BNSF 4479 is now in the swoosh too! I believe this engine was involved in a wreck before going into the shop to be repaired and repainted.
It’ll take a long, long time for BNSF to get through their 1700+ fleet of C44-9Ws.
Nice pictures. I think I kind of like it with the letters being yellow with a black outline. How many locomotives have they painted in that scheme?
4479 wasn’t that one involved in that Head on in CA that we got that video from. After seeing the damage I would have sworn they would have scrapped her out.
4479 was the engine that collided head-on. BNSF shipped it down to Mexico where it was rebuilt.
