QUOTE: Originally posted by csmith9474 The orange boxes you are seeing are air conditioners. They are easy to remove and replace, especially for maintenance. The reason they are orange is because they came from a locomotive that had been painted in BNSF orange. I hope this helps.[:)]

We have a lot of blue/yellow and red /silver in the yard. They come and go quite a bit! This unit gets around, I saw it on Cajon pass a few weekends ago. Reply daniel3197 Member sinceAugust 2004 109 posts Posted by daniel3197 on Friday, June 24, 2005 8:57 AM Beautiful!! Thank you now we have seen photos of TWO seperate unpatched ATSF Santa Fe units still out on the rails in the year 2005. By the way "UNPATCHED" means full Santa Fe lettering with NO BNSF sublettering under the locomotive number on the sides under the cab. By contrast on the UP it is VERY common to see former SP units in "patched" paint with the only cab sides and hood areas done as a minimal patch-repaint job. This is the quick, easy and cheap way to reletter a unit without going to the time or expense of a full and complete new paint job covering 100 percent of the locomotive. Thank you for posting this question about a great and very historic railroad! --- Daniel Reply CSSHEGEWISCH Member sinceMarch 2016 From: Burbank IL (near Clearing) 13,540 posts Posted by CSSHEGEWISCH on Friday, June 24, 2005 7:58 AM Unpatched ATSF units have all but vanished.

Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, June 23, 2005 10:49 PM Not exactly sure here what "unpatched" means to a railfan; is it a literal description of rolling stock from fallen flags that hasn't been messed with? Midafternoon of Thursday, June 9, spotted a fresh-looking Santa Fe loco -- classic silver & red with warbonnet -- heading up the BN scheduled intermodal run passing thru Rochelle, Illinois. [8D] Got a bad picture of it, my hands were shaking so![8)] Also if nobody has mentioned it Rochelle has something close to "shop queens," former BN and Santa Fe helpers, both looking quite clean. The Santa Fe is done in the blue-and-yellow with the "Romany" looking lettering for Sana Fe. There appear to be pockets of BN and ATSF'dom out there--and sometimes they're badly needed, it seems.
