I know it was probably in the 7000s somewhere, but does anyone know what the very first BNSF ES44DC is numbered, and the first one to wear the H3 paint scheme?
Long live the BNSF .... AND its paint scheme. SchemerBob

The very first ES44DC for BNSF was #7650 which was delivered in H2. The first unit delivered in H3 was technically 7701 but 7687 was the first unit to recieve the paint for testing. The reason I say 7701 is because it is slightly different than 7687, and it was the final decision for BNSF's new scheme.
