BNSF 2031 Editors Pick! Contributor's Pick!       
Fresh from the paint shop, literally! This is one of the NRE Rebuilds of a GP38 that BNSF ordered. This unit was just pulled from the paint booth just 5 minutes before. Thats the paint booth behind the unit. All the green is now gone. So this technically makes this scheme....H5

Pat Scott General Sorry, I assumed you were with Mike, since if I am not mistaken you were there with him before. OK, how did Mike get so close? 5/10/2006 5:19:06 PM
David Sanderbeck General Jim, after all you are the Most Famous Railfan In St. Louis trespassing laws shouldn't apply too. I'm just amazed the d*mn isn't on fire. 5/10/2006 7:46:00 PM

Edward Weisensel General Ancient Chinese secret - a zoom lens! Quit whining like school girl - that moan is really old - go shoot locos! 5/10/2006 8:34:24 PM
Jim Tiroch General I doubt I am the most famous railfan in St. Louis. Yeah, I am surprised the thing is not on fire either! 5/10/2006 8:39:46 PM
Edward Weisensel General Sharp shot, Mike! Some WISH for coconuts - significant upgrade from grapenuts. 5/10/2006 8:42:02 PM
Stephen Gose General I think it's garbage, without the green. IMHO of course..... 5/11/2006 9:57:37 PM
Stephen Gose General Afterall, it was like getting a little of the GN back. Now, it's like they are going MILW instead. I'd rather have GN influenced paint, then MILW. IMHO of course. Great Northern for life....GO ROCKY!!! 5/11/2006 10:02:58 PM
Kenny Ravenscroft General Great Picture!! I don't see the Milw influence though Stephen. 5/14/2006 12:35:52 AM
Brian Ferguson General Nice former GP35E 9/14/2009 7:36:57 PM
