During our weekend trip to the Powder River Basin, these were the nicest units I saw! I was always a fan of the blue and white "Oakways" SD60's. BNSF returned some of them to the lessor and put the remainder in storage a few years ago. Recently, however, they have started showing up again.

There was exactly one SD60M on BNSF's roster that received a repaint in the Heritage 1 scheme...and this is it! BNSF 8177 sits in the yard at Guernsey waiting to head east on the Valley Sub.

The conductor speaks with the engineer to coordinate a reverse move with a string of five units at the east end of the Guernsey yard. Note the green light visible in the distance. BNSF has installed push-button switches in the yard, making it a lot easier for the crews to throw the switches. The green light is an indicator that the switch is in the normal position. Yellow indicates a reversed switch.

Now here is a pretty cool consist! A crew switches around a pair of ES44ACs, a pair of Oakway SD60s and an SD60M (wearing the Heritage scheme). The crew was in the process of taking the fifth unit (BNSF 6267) and setting it up as the tail end DPU unit on their train.
