BNSF renumbering 6400 series locos
Posted by Lyon_Wonder on Wednesday, November 28, 2007 2:58 PM

Well, BNSF is at it again.  BNSF 6485, a recently repainted SD45-2-turned-SD40-2R, is now BNSF 7950.  I guess this means only one thing, a future order for more GEs?

Yup, the SD45-2's are part of BNSF's re-numbering project that was announced last year in TRAINS.

That's one neat locomotive...looks almost as long as the SD50 behind it!

Long live the BNSF .... AND its paint scheme. SchemerBob

If they have to stick with a paint scheme, perhaps the managment should stick with this one for a while.

I still love the Super Chief color theme. They should take the BN and leave it as Santa Fe.
