BNSF LOGO.

I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION. WHY IS THE BNSF LOGO DIFFERENT ON MY TWO SD75M'S.

Not sure...were they made by different companies?  If they're the same, maybe they're from runs from two different model generations.  I know my old Kato heritage schemes had the green lettering, but if I remember right they changed to the bordered yellow in their third generation run.

Yup, was just using my Katos as an example of how things can change from one production generation to the next.

Nope not at all..You see BNSF use 2 different styles of lettering fonts and colors as well.

Eaxactly. Lately, Athearn has been VERY GOOD about road specific details on their models. If you look at their RTR line, the CSX SD60s look completely different than the SOO ones, for example.

Looking at some prototype photos, it appears that BNSF did change the letter styles just a bit.  I couldn't find 8258 in the Heritage II scheme but I did find 8213.  Also linked is 8225 in the slightly different lettering.
