A sight that is becoming less and less common! A Warbonnet leads an eastbound Provo-Denver out of Barbara's Gulch between Rocky and Leyden.

In the early 1990s, Santa Fe decided to resurrect the Warbonnet paint scheme and ordered some C44-9Ws, SD75Ms, and GP60s in the classic silver and red scheme. How great would it be if BNSF decided to do another round of Warbonnet units? While that is unlikely to happen, at least it is still possible to catch an occasional Warbonnet such as on this day as one leads the Provo-Denver.

A lot of the remaining Warbonnets in the world are oftentimes referred to as "Pinkbonnets" because the paint has faded so badly over the past 25 years. However, there are still some Warbonnets out there whose paint is darn near perfect. Case-in-point is BNSF 786, leading the Provo-Denver during the first full week of March 2018.

Couldn't help but grab a roster shot of a Warbonnet on the point of BNSF's Provo-Denver...particularly a Warbonnet in such great shape as BNSF 786!

My personal favorite engine from the late 1990s and early 2000s would have to be EMDs SD70M/SD70MAC. UP 4424, which happens to be on BNSF's Provo-Denver on this day, was one of 1000 SD70Ms originally ordered by Union Pacific. This SD70M will turn 17 this year. It was originally delivered to UP on July 18, 2001.
