BN Special Paint Scheme
Posted by coborn35 on Friday, March 25, 2005 7:52 PM
Does any body have any info on this paint scheme?
Personally, I prefer it to the cascade green.[^] The green really looks good with the gold.

Actually it is the SD60MAc that you are seeing there. Only 4 were made as far as I know they are still in service someplace I think. They were the AC demos and also the first units built with the HTCR radial truck on it
Always at war with those that think OTR trucking is EASY.
