But the point is, you don't see any of the other major railroads going out and making drastic changes. Take the UP, how long have they used the red, white, and blue shield? And another thing, the new, "flashy, hip, cool" logo sure doesn't appeal any better to the younger crowd either, and I would know, I'M 19! <br /> <br />-Matt Z. <br />[/quote] <br />I agree that we can't really do anything about it, but it can be fun at times to gripe. I just don't get it though? Why change the logo (for the engines) just because they changed the name? The new name is okay, and most people called it the BNSF anyway. However, on the engines it already said BNSF on the sides and front, and it just looked so much better than the new one. I only ever saw the full Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway (a. k. a. the mouthful) circular logo on railroad trucks, buildings, and freight cars (mainly auto racks and piggyback cars), so they could have changed the logo for those if they wanted to change it... but why desecrate the engines which railfans and "civilians" (ha, ha) look at most? <br /> <br />Oh and the UP actually sort of needs a paint scheme facelift, but if it ends up looking like BNSF Railway's job, keep the old one. And, I wi***hey would remove the flag... I'm not being unpatriotic or anything, I just think it doesn't do anything for the engine or the railroad's looks.
