Yes, I believe they did and I remember seeing some come through Aurora on BNSF run through trains. I also believe they all had the old lettering.

They did not have any SD40-2's on the railroad.

Although they did have what you call a SD40T-2. These where the tunnel motors. These where in both versions of lettering.

I went home but I didn't get a chance to get back here. I had to go to work and didn't get to post that up. I knew what I wrote down wasn't right but I thought I was pretty close. I was off some huh.LOL:))
