The BNSF merger was in 1996- the holding companies merged in 1995 and the railroads finally got into BNSF a year later.
Merger was in September of 1995, official in 1996 and the official name BNSF in 2005 when the swoosh logo came out.
Did you mean the BNSF merger of 1996, instead of 1993? I was living in Colorado Springs, CO, near the "Joint Line", (AT&SF and DRG&W) in the mid 90's. (Now the BNSF UP) I recall seeing the Santa Fe's War Bonnet Red and Silver Dash 8-40-CWs and SD75s. At the time, the Burlington Northern was bringing coal from the Powder River Basin, to the Drake Utilities Power Plant in Down Town Colorado Springs, as well as in Texas and other places. In that time, the BN began receiving their SD70MAC locomotives, delivered in their "Executive Scheme" wearing BN initials in the front of them and assigned them to their unit coal trains. However, the older SD40-2 locomotives were still being used on a few coal trains and some were "deployed" as helper units to get these trains over the Palmer Divide. In 1996, the SD70MAC locomotives were being delivered in the "Executive" Scheme and had "BNSF" on the sides of them, indicating the BNSF Merger had recently taken place earlier that year.
Thank you for the video, this was very informative.
Good stuff all in one place, thanks for sharing!
Excellent video, fantastic narration, very informative. I learned quite a bit about the BNSF. I never knew about the Santa Fe tiger stripes and the BNSF 4723 Train Sim loco. Great work. You just got yourself a new subscriber.
Found out BNSF built 50 new GEVO locomotives this year. 25 ES44ACH numbered 3282-3306, and 25 ET44ACH numbered 3650-3674. They are all in H3 paint and they use raised letter K5HL horns except for 3284, 3285, and 3674 which uses a raised letter K5HLA. 3284 and 3285 are hybrids while 3674 is normal. The hybrid K5HLA's used 1L, 1, 2, 3, and 4A while the normal one uses the same bells like the K5LLA, 1L, 1, 2, 3A, and 4A.
@ 2:20... the BEST railroad paint scheme of all time
BNSF has always had the best color schemes
What you refer to “h1 swoosh” is what most people refer to has “h4” and are almost exclusively painted onto yard and local power. The actual h1 is on the dash 9s ordered and delivered Immediately after the merger with the green and orange and are numbered in the 900s to 1000s. Great video in general however.
1st Fakebonnets don’t exist. 2nd the merger happened in 1996. 3rd BNSF 700 > 792 are former Santa Fe units and former road numbers are ATSF 717 for example. I do have proof of this claim from sources in BNSF. 4th Warbonnets that have BNSF red lettering such as the B40-8W are original Santa Fe units, just because it says BNSF in red doesn’t mean it wasn’t legit. There is 2 types of Warbonnets, BNSF version and ATSF version. Nothing in between.
Uhhh, no. Fakebonnets do exist. They are the BNSF version of the Warbonnet paint. And, BNSF 700-799 are not former Santa Fe units. They were built after the merger, and have always had BNSF lettering. BNSF 600-699 were the Dash 9s originally owned by Santa Fe, which is why those had the Santa Fe war bonnet paint scheme
@@yeahman70 yeah, I believe some were ordered by ATSF but delivered after the merger
ATSF numbers 600 through the 799 number are orders by ATSF. Though some sport the BNSF patch due to the merger happening during production of the units.
Number series 4700+ are orders by BNSF and those are the "fakebonnets".
@@brandoncarstensen1637 all units 700-799 as well as those early 4700 series units were delivered with BNSF lettering, so those are the fakebonnets. They were ordered by ATSF but delivered to BNSF
@@yeahman70fake Bonnet is a foamer term. The “war bonnet” is a color scheme, not how the units are marked. The warbonnet refers to the old atsf f7 in the 50s so no fake bonnet doesn’t exist.
Where is BNSF C44-9W unit 4723 at now???
You forgot the "Vomit Bonnet".
BN GP 38 2085 was sweet. The pride unit
Thanks lot of information I'm trying to find what the. Paint scheme is of the 2023 nnsf rr
What’s the difference between Heritage 1 swoosh and Heritage 4
I don't know why but BNSF has 5 versions of H2 for the dash 9s
That’s just sun bleaching. They were all painted the same color out of the shop
Good info, H2 schemes aren't always on the older models. Check BNSF 5737 images.
Classified as a AC4400EV model, but is the pre-production of the ES series.
The BNSF Warbonnets are not Fakebonnets they were useing up the last of the ATSF paint people need to get the info right when talking about the ATSF side of this.
Some of the Fakebonnets were ordered by ATSF but delivered in BNSF lettering, but I know BNSF ordered some Fakebonnets of their own back when they thought having 2 paint schemes was a good idea.
Dude you forgot the merger scheme
Yellow & Orange Warbonnet?
Well close enough. I'll just blame it on color blindness.
@@brookingsrail ah ok, the Warbonnets are red and silver
BNSF should have used the Burlington Chinese Red scheme.
Deserves more likes
No such thing as a fakebonnet
Uh, yes there is. In the 700s & 4700s series. It’s what we call them if they have BNSF markings instead of ATSF.
