So anyone know, is that the original Burlington Northern patch job? The paint on this thing is amazing for the age it must be!

I think all the BN examples were repainted back in the 1970s.. checking online, this is coincidentally a GN engine even though that's not original GN paint! GN 5013 -> GN 77 -> BN 77 (repainted green 1971) -> Walla Walla Valley 77 -> Precision National -> SLSF 10 (repainted red/white) -> BN 70 (repainted green again) -> BNSF assigned 3300 but not renumbered -> US Borax 7171. Apparently restored to GN colors either in late BN or early BNSF era.
