Are there any other locos painted in BNSF H3 besides some of the GEVOs and
SD40-2s? If so, are there any pictures of them?
If I recall correctly, there is at least one AC4400CW.

There is a C40-8W…BNSF 882. Somebody told me that BNSF 2624 was also repainted. I don’t know if it’s true of 2624 being repainted since it had already been in H1.
There is a Switcher that I know of, I think it is 3154 an MP15.
I know that there are some GEVOs that are lettered as AC4400CWs, but I don’t think any of them are in the H3, they are all H2. So you may be right. Any more in H3?
Anybody have any pictures of BNSF C40-8W #882?
In order to help, I guess I need someone to explain what the H3 paint scheme is?
The H3, or Heritage 3, is BNSF’s newest paint scheme. It has the new “swoosh” or “powerbar” logo instead of the old cigar band/oval.
I didnt know BNSF had AC4400CW???
I believe it is a MK1200G.
BNSF has a lot of AC4400CWs, I think somewhere around 150.
So there is a GP38-2 in the new H3 Logo?
Practically all of the ATSF Red/Silver warbonnet-painted GE’s I’ve seen in recent memory look worn out from faded and peeling paint, prime candidates for repainting.
I wish BNSF would repaint a select few GEs or EMDs, such as SD75’s and early C44-9Ws, again into the Warbonnet for old times sake. They could even mix the Red/Siver warbonnet paint with a red BNSF “Powerbar” style logo on the silver longhood, though I’m sure some SF fans would prefer “Santa Fe” to remain on engines that were originally delivered prior to the merger.
That would be nice. I would take anything over the H3 “swoosh.” It’s amazingly awful looking. To me the new logo isn’t really even the worst part of H3 (even though it is pretty bad), it’s the black paint (NS in mind maybe?) that replaced the dark green and the lack of yellow on the units. I could deal with the logo if the paint colors/scheme was better. Hopefully they will come up with something new in the next 5 years or so, it seems to be the trend with them. Either way, BNSF doesn’t give a rip what I think, so I’ll quit wishing.
I have to disagree. The logo is the worst part. It looks like it came from a toy designed for a 6-year-old. Then the second worst part is the black instead of the green. But that’s beside the point. Either way, IT STILL LOOKS BAD!!!
