Photo ID: 113892 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, May 31, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed West Alliance Alliance, NE 11 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Butte (BNSF) BNSF In my opinion, BNSF designed a really classy paint scheme to apply to BNSF 1776. Railroads created special schemes for a few units to celebrate the bicentennial in 1976, so it was cool to see them do the same thing for the semiquincentennial in 2026.
