The lead unit is an ES44C4, but in an odd number range. Nearly every unit in the 4000s currently on BNSF's roster is a C44-9W. There are 100 units (BNSF 4200-4299) that are ES44C4s. They are Tier 4 "credit" units. BNSF saved up some emissions credits to be able to order these Tier 3 units after the Tier 4 deadline. Some of note is the quality of the camera in the iPhone 7 Plus. I just happened to notice this train as I was driving and stopped for a few shots. I didn't have my Canon with me, so I use the old iPhone instead. Not bad quality at all!

The Denver-Provo seems to typically have anywhere from 10-20 of these cars on the train. Giant rolls of steel...that'll add some weight to the train!

Since the model is the same, the paint scheme (obviously) is irrelevant. I note it, however, because it seems like nearly every Warbonnet left has an orange battery box...so isn't it ironic that we have a Heritage 1 C44-9W here with a Warbonnet battery box!
