I just recieved my Proto 2000 U28B in the Burlington sceme. My original plan was to repaint this into a milwaukee road unit, but after looking at it for a while, I think the Red and silver is growing on me.
I want to patch it for BN, but can't find any pictures of them patched. What happened to the burlington units after the merger?
Thanks!
From what I could find, they just put the letters BN under the loco number. Here's one I found in RRPicturearchives.

They were renumbered to #'s 5450 to 5459. I did find a photo (www.rr-fallenflags.org) of a U30B that was patched into BN, it will show you how they were done.
found another photo.

Be careful of that! The BURLINGTON red paint scheme can be seductive.
It, and CNW yellow/green are my favorites.

Thank you! In my world this one will live on as a burlington unit to fit the era

CNW, MILW, SOO are my favorites ( if you couldn't tell ).
But that CNW yellow with stripes on the GP7s and SD7s is stunning. But Zito yellow on the other hand.....not so much!
