BNSF activated (and renumbered) their SD75Ms and SD75Is, the majority of which still wear the Warbonnet scheme. One such example is BNSF 205 (which, until recently, was BNSF 8205), seen here in Denver on a cold final day in November. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The scheme, and the "Heritage 2" scheme, were both developed as tributes to the Great Northern, one of the original railroads that merged to form Burlington Northern.

They had more of these on the roster than any other model. Today, the ES44DC and ES44AC (including the ES44C4) reign king. Good to see the paint scheme still in pretty great shape here on BNSF 4078.

Typically, there are several units there being serviced. On this Sunday, however, just a single SD40-2 sits idling away, awaiting assignment.

A new BNSF paint scheme that is just starting to be rolled out? Nope. BNSF bought several former leaser units from GATX Locomotive Rail Group (similar to this unit) and rather than spending the money to completely repaint the units, they matched the colors and applied their logo.

The Warbonnet has definitely seen better days, but that Dash-9 in the middle is really hurting. Man, I can't stand taggers...

Evening though some of these units are 40 years old, they are still going strong! One unit in this shot, BNSF 2700, has been hanging out in Denver for over seven years now!

While I don't dislike BNSF's New Image scheme, I was always very fond of Santa Fe's paint jobs. Here, a Yellow Bonnet SD40-2 sits with a Heritage I SD40-2 near the house in Denver.

While the SD70MACs certainly haven't disappeared completed, ES44ACs and SD70ACes have become far more prevalent. Here, a northbound (about to turn eastbound) coal empty is pulling through the yard.

Meanwhile, what's up with the blue and white BNSF unit? This is a former Conrail GP38AC that BNSF has acquired. For the time being, they simply added their logo to the unit until some point in the future when it receives a full repaint. This blue and white scheme has earned these units the nickname "smurfs".
