New BNSF Cream and green SD70MAC patch-job

Well, BNSF is back at patching it’s ex-BN cream and green SD70MACs. Former BN 9573 and 9684 are now patched with a small swoosh logo on the sides of the cab. BNSF must have run out of old-stayle cross and circle logos. It seemed that BNSF gave up on patching it’s former BN MAC’s, considering they are more unpatched than patched BN cream and greens, epseically in the 9600 series. Cheaper than repainting them into H3, though some of those post-merger SD70MAC’s delivered new in H2 in the 9800 through 8900 series look like they need it.

That looks sharp. Nice photos!

I actually think the Cream and Green looks nice with the Swoosh. Thanks for the photos!

Where’s the swoosh on the nose? It would look even better with the new logo on the front. Nevertheless, I think it looks good. It’s nice that they’re making the swoosh the right colors for the Executive paint scheme - they did a good job patching with their cross-and-circle logo as well.

I think it looks great.
