Normally, I don't like BNSF...

BNSF has never been one of my favorite railroads for various reasons. Having said that, I have to admit this actually looks pretty nice.

Wow! that was pretty cool! I didn't know they had plows!

That looks more like a snow blower, industrial size!!!!! I'd really like to see that baby in action!

It's a Rotary Snow Plow.

I honestly would've thought that they retired that sort of built-up plate truck a LONG time ago!

Looked cooler in original paint.

You can't retire something like that because they need it so much. To me, BNSF is still dead. lol

Well the H3 scheme to me looks like crap.............I want to see the H1/H2 come back as the modern image! Better yet, bring back the Cascade green....................

I think they should just go back to using the schemes from their predecessors, but I doubt they will. Cascade Green would certainly look better than what they have now but I would rather see the schemes of the predecessors.

They could have just used the paint they had on the engines then and re-lettered them on the sides for BNSF. I attempted a personal reskin on one locomotive in that type of scheme.
