In 1991 EMD and BN jumped into the AC technology. EMD built 4 SD60MAC's prototype units for the BN to test out and were painted in a modified BN scheme. Tests proved successful and paved the road for the order 786 SD70MAC's that would be delivered to the BN/BNSF between 1994-2000. Here one leads an empty train back to the coal mines, just outside of Galesburg in 1994. Now days these units have been held up at the FRA Test Track in Pueblo, CO.
Not
just heritage schemes, not just commemorative schemes - this album is devoted to some of the world's most interesting paint schemes, past or present.
