I saw this engine roll through Colorado Springs, CO one night, and I didn't have my camera either. Fortunetly you were able to get a pic of her a couple of days later, thanks for posting.

I've heard it called barf bonnet and vomit bonnet but I like it too. Great catch!
|
Great color scheme for the Holidays!! I agree, I like the way it looks...and its clean.

Nice catch, ugly as heck but nice catch:)
|
Ugly to most, but it sure beats any version of that abominable orange that BNSF can come up with.
|
I also like this paint job. It Reminds me of Something a model railroader might put on his own units. Such as "Kansas City & Santa Fe Northern."
|
Hey, at least somebody had the decency to fix the paint. Part of the "Northern" had been burned off, and you can see the colors don't quite match.
|
It's nice to see that the railroad's whole name is spelled out, and not just a group of officially-meaningless initials.
|
I think its a great locomotive. I love the paint scheme. One of my favorites. Great shot too. Idk why everyone thinks its so ugly.
|
One thing for sure, the BNSF likes to change the paint jobs often. This one is not so ugly...a great railroad!
