Hi all.
Can anyone tell me if BNSF have any Orange & Green SD-75's? And if you know the engine No's?
Also does anyone know what the White box on the top of some of the SD-75 Cabs is?
Thanks for all the help...TYPAN

BNSF has slowly started repainting it's SD75's in the 'heritage II paint scheme. I don't have the engine #'s. They have been repainting the 'safety cab' models in the 'heritage II' scheme and the switcher engines in the 'heritage I colors.

I have seen a couple dozen SD75's in the Heritage II paint scheme. I think that BNSF could have picked better colors but that is just personal opinion.

Yep, they are repaints. I saw one the other night in the yard that was marked SD75MAC. Figure that one out. Me thinks that the shop that painted it had a poor ventillation system and the fumes got to the guy runnin the stencil.

Hi There.
I will have to agree with that, It does look a pit like 'baby **** and slime! but i need a proto train for my display. Maybe some day they will change it again. Just keep complaining to them. LOL...

Hi and Thanks.
Those numbers do look a bit high. Are they renumbering them as well or did they buy new ones?
