1. It's the first of 10. Let's see what the other 9 bring (hopefully something more substantial).
2. As said prior, it's a reboot of the original BN Pacific Pride engine.
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.

From the BNSF Facebook page -- oh ye of little faith!
"Keep an eye out, and you might spot something different leading a BNSF Railway train! This is the first of 10 locomotives that will help celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the merger that formed BNSF Railway by sporting logos of our historic predecessor lines. It’s going operational tomorrow and another nine will follow over the next few weeks ... Let us know if you spot one of these special locomotives! We'd love to see pictures."
Let's all do just that! I know I'll be watching... but it does have to be said that all ten might be exactly the same, orange units with all the different logos on them.
First unit is out; an orange version of the BN "Pacific Pride" units.

From the jointlinefrilfans.io forum. BNSF will be painting five engines in special paint schemes to celebrate their twenty fifth aniversery. According to the post three ES44SAC's are already at MAC in Kansas City being painted. The five units selected are allegedly BNSF 5872, 6017, 6022, 6078, & 6111, all ES44AC's. They supposedly will be released in September.
