Remarks & Notes

Burlington Northern Santa Fe tried several test schemes before coming up with “Heritage I” paint for the merged railroad. One on them, applied to BN SD70MAC No. 9647 was not very popular, and nicknamed the “Vomit Bonnet.” They took BN Grinstein colors of dark green and creme and applied it to the locomotive mimicking a Santa Fe warbonnet. Needless to say, it was one-of-a-kind! Here No. 9647 is seen inside the Alliance, Nebraska, locomotive shop on July 21, 2003, sitting next to a “real” warbonnet—former Santa Fe SD75M No. 201—now BNSF No. 8201.
