While riding Metra home today, I saw a EMD GP locomotive at Cicero, IL painted blue/white with a big BNSF logo on the side. It appeared the paint job may be a couple years old.
I have seen CN locomotives painted blue in the Chicago area with the normal CN logo painted on the front.
While passing Amtrak's diesel shop today I saw a GMTX locomotive painted orange with black roof and underframe.
Is there a leasing company who paints their locomotives blue and white?
Thanks!

It's a Smurf!
It looks better than the standard BNSF scheme, for sure. They should take it up.
It looks like a former GMTX locomotive. Didn't BNSF trade a bunch of end cab switchers to GMTX for road switchers a few years ago?

Yep exactly what they are. BNSF got 12 GP38's from GMTX as trade for the switchers and GP15's
10 of are blue and 2 were repainted into BNSF scheme. They two that was repainted were not blue one was in CSX MoW orange and other was gold. But the blue ones stayed blue.
