In April 1993 Burlington Northern #9259 EMD SD60M powers past the former NP Como Shops with a unit train of coal hoppers.
These SD60's are only a couple of years old and gleam in the declining sunlight.
Erected: 1/1991 Serial Number: 897049-10 Order No:897049
In 2011 BNSF #8159 still had it's very faded original paint and bandit patches.
By 2019 it had the current BNSF paint scheme.

green is pretty color. logo is alright. not great, but ok.
i remember the time of that merger. i mean i remember railfanning at the time of it. the actual year eludes me at the moment.
great northern and northern pacific color schemes were both prettier before the merger though.
pre-merger burlington being remembered mostly for its relatively unadorned stainless.
the tail end of local passenger service being the thing i most fondly remember most, and the real logical need for its restoration, even if people don't yet feel or understand how much better off we'd all be without being economically coerced into indenturing ourselves to the automobile.
