GP60B #332 has been repainted into BNSF’s new paint scheme, the first and only GP60B so far.
Very nice.
jaw drops Wow, thanks for sharing. Plans for repainting the others?
Repainting the entire GP60 fleet? I sure hope so 'cause I have always liked the short pudgy GP60…they kind of remind me of modern day F units in a way.
Didn’t they paint one of their SD9’s in the new scheme?
GP60s rock!!
Yes, they do. Here is the last one ever built. Interestingly, it remains in that paint and unpatched to this day. BTW, that B-unit above is one purdy looking unit. I still think it looks wrong without a cab, though.
Some of the other BNSF GP60B Units have been repainted in the Heritage Schemes.
BNSF GP60B #322 headed east over CN’s South Bend tracks behind a CN DASH 9 in July 2007.
Slowly they will all be refurbished and repainted. They were built after 1990, so there are years left to go on the GP60 SuperFleet.

Though former SF GP60Ms and Bs have been repainted, all the conventional cab GP60s remain in their patched SF yellowbonnet colors.
It would be cool if they still made 'em.
Would look better in their original paint doing what they were bought for.
