Awesome picture, I love 9647's paint scheme personally and I'll take it over the orange scheme any day!

Nice catch on the infamous "Barf Bonnet," one of the more interesting paint schemes tried and rejected. I have to agree with Joe above, I think this is a much more attractive color palette than the current scheme. I think BNSF missed the boat, as it were, by not adopting the scheme on the trailing units here, which I have always thought was rather elegant, though the Warbonnet is equally worthy and has a storied history. Perhaps the Grinstein scheme for coal service units, and red/silver for everything else?? Twenty plus years later, it's all a moot point. BTW, nicely framed with that wonderful scenery and lighting. Too bad about the power lines :(
