Every time I see a BNSF diesel I think to myself, this railroad has so many great paint schemes from its predecessor roads, and they came up with this?

I think I do like the black better than the green, but the logo sucks. Maybe I just like the old Santa Fe too much.

I think it is a horrible symbol for a respectable road, an easy design which is just adding a racing stripe under a few letters, they could have done much better, as could CSX.

I think the logo is great! What I don't like is the switch from Orange and Green to Orange and Black on the locomotive paint. As it was before, the "Heritage" painted locomotives paid homage to BNSF ancestor roads ATSF and GN. Now they look more like rolling Halloween decorations. Yuck!
