Former BNSF B40-8W #562 is now Providence and Worcester #562 and on PW's home rails in MA.

I'd say this is one of the B40-8Ws that's lease expired since most other B40-8Ws are still on BNSF's roster.

All I see is a BNSF locomotive that's been vandalised with patches. GET A P&W PAINT SCHEME

P&W is pretty quick to repaint units they purchase compared to some other regional railroads so the widecabs will probably being wearing their colors within a year or so..
