My answer is any locomotive, being a BN modeler I wish the Burlington Northern was still around. I always thought the cascade green,black, white was a good looking paint scheme. I wish the BNSF would bring it back and just be the plain old BN again.

 Just my thoughts,

 Mark

Any way, I think a SD80MAC. I also would think a White face loco would look cool in one of those. Or even better, Maybe if BN was still around they baought a BIG fleet of them, and called it the Hustle Mustle 2. That would be cool.

I assume you have no idea what the original Hustle Muscle is....

I would have to say a SD80 in whiteface would be perfect. Also If you ever get the new SD70ACe that would look great in the whiteface scheme! Tower 55 is making a BN Gevo in whiteface but the BN was an EMD railroad except for the C30's and B30's so it didnt look right to me!
Long Live The Burlington Northern!

My fave BN paint scheme is the Executive scheme, but the classic green is still good. I agree an SD80 or SD90

What modern day loco would you want to see this paint scheme on?
