This paint scheme is considered sexy in advertising circles.
Therefore BNSF must park some of these newly painted units in an attractive location where photographers can photograph all those sexy railroad employees around this attractive new scheme.

I only have seen two of them and they were pretty grungy...but I bet they were a site when new. Heck, they still are a site - I would rank that as one of the top paint schemes in the past 20 yrs.
Yes, the green/cream paint scheme was one of the nicest I have ever seen and I loved it when the SD70MAC's were new. Nowadays the green/cream MAC's are pretty darned grungy and look terrible, but they do look good in the new scheme as well.
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.

Needless to say, that SD60M looks a lot better than anything else I've seen wearing the BNSF Nike logo scheme.
Those 4 window Canadian cabs look like a spider to me. I too can't stand them.
GEVO's wear the "Nike logo scheme" Best, and that's about it.

Go watch or play REAL football! Heh heh heh . Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, Juventus. Manchester United or even my hometown favourite and across the tracks neighbour Feyenoord Rotterdam.
Your friendly neighborhood CNW fan.
I hate to do this, buuut,
YOU are complaining, by complaining that people are complaining.
I personally like the 3 window SD60M's in BN paint.
The new logo looks good, but, not on an SD60M.

I would say that ATS&F is the source of all neutrality, but more of superiority. I think that Santa Fe could have done just fine without BN but then they wouldn't have the Northeast. Pumpkins just don't do it for me.
"Green on the cab contrasting with the yellow." What is that like your Ying and Yang?
I'm out of here, you guys have a great weekend. Hope you all see lot of trains.
Lord Atmo wrote:no paint scheme can make something already beyond ugly look good. granted BNSF's new scheme is pretty neat, SD60Mu's are not. EMD killed one of their best looking locomotives to introduce that cab... should have waited till the SD70 series....lord....
I will have to desagree with you about the SD60M 3-window. Mind you that the 2-windows are very nice but the 3-window cab just spells TOUGH. But Painting on orange and black makes it look pathetic. I too don't have any love for the new BNSF colors. Heritage 2 was the only good paint scheme that BNSF had. I say bring back the blue bonnets or BN Green and white. It must be the orange when it fades--it looks like crap.
Lord Atmo wrote:i know. i'm just very particular when it comes to SD60s. no standard cab, no coolness. that's my standard. SD70Ms, though, i dont mind them. i prefer the ones with the flare thoughBNSF's new scheme is not bad though. i must say i like it. looks better on widenose units though. so i have to ask... how many C44-9Ws got the scheme now?
Well, not all, considering they made SD60's and SD70's standard cab also.
Yuck!! Somehow the current BNSF paint scheme doesn't appeal to me. Every other BNSF paint scheme that I have seen over the years is a lot better than this. Why can't BNSF leave well enough alone??

Here's a combination for you:
Zito yellow and BNSF orange!

Looks good to me! I've seen the new paint scheme on a rebuilt GP38-2 as well, so this unit will probably be through my area soon. I can't wait!
I HOPE they don't re-paint the "Great Pumpkin" SD60M, though.

Reletter it to read Great Northern, and you might be on to something there.
