Well I hope that your all very happy that the BNSF seems to be keeping their old paint and logo. I have seen lots of older logo's H2 on the newer (GEVO)'s lately.
I kinda liked the newer logo. So ya'll can be very happy now.

It was ok i guess. I personally like the kinda older a little faded light orange look.

Didn't the magazine say that mgmt had not yet decided and was just testing? Have they made the decision? I thought that the new locos would still be the old style until the decision was made.

On April 20, I saw two new ES44DC BNSF units heading a northbound in front of the San Diego Convention Center. Both units were less than a month old, with 7701 having new new logo and paint scheme and 7705 having the previous logo and scheme. The units were spotless, except for the knuckles hanging on the rear of the frames.

So, at least one engine has gotten out with the new logo and scheme.
