A southbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight crosses the Rio Grande bridge over Colorado Highway 105 at Monument, Colorado, on April 23, 1998, just as a 1955 Chevy pops out from the overpass headed north toward Palmer Lake. BNSF No. 4725 is recently delivered from GE, and hasn’t received its “Heritage II” striping yet—quite a few of these Dash 9s in this number series were delivered to the railroad in this “undecorated” paint job that is somewhat reminiscent to Great Northern’s simplified orange-and-green scheme.
