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. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

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.

Photo ID: 107353 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, March 8, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Chemical (MP 14.5) Arvada, CO 1359 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF 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.
