Nice video. Is it too late to apologize for the merger? (East of the Mississippi River) I like CSX the best because of my loyalty to liking Chessie System. SOME of the BN SD60Ms have one of my 5 favorite horns. I just discovered it less than a month ago via Youtube. I'm definitely adding at least one of those engines to my train set collection when I get another one.
Brilliant vidoe beautiful still shots As a broadcast camer operator i thought it a professional elegant touching piece that showed me the Green Giants were attractive As a yellowbonnet fan this moved me... I agree save the yellowbonnets too they both classics...

Unfortunately we are left with the ugly black and pumpkin orange BNSF paint scheme. I personally am a equal fan of both the BN and ATSF--my true love is the MKT. I truly believe that they should have never painted over their ATSF and BN vets, such a shame... Nevertheless, if you ask me, the BNSF should really reconsider going back with their Heritage 1 paint scheme, at least it looks nice compared to these ugly schemes today. Heritage 1 scheme is influenced by the GN scheme btw.
I take it ur a BN fan. Losing the BN didn't really effect me at all, But I grew up right along side the Santa Fe mainline just north of Ft. Worth, Tx. As a child images of blue & yellow SD40-2's raced through my dreams. So trust me I feel ur pain. Every time I see a blue & yellow workhorse or a warbonnet that's been disfigured with a 'BNSF ' patch or re-painted orange & green I wanna puke! awesome video. narration was well written.

Orange and green paint look awful and always will. The only reason they painted them that way is because BN had a "pumpkin nose" unit they did and wanted to see what entire unit would look like. It sucks.
@verastaki Yes, that is what they were built for. VERY RARELY you may see one on a freight train, however their AC traction system (which is much more expensive than that of a comparable DC SD70M) is best utilized in low speed, heavy-haul applications, such as coal service.
I think it would be cool, if a museum had all the locomotives from all the short lived, merged and no longer seen Railroads, like BN, SF, Chessie, Seaboard Lines, B&O, and all the others, but not just for display, but to also be able to ride behind
I spent many summer and fall days watching these units shove coal trains up Crawford Hill....that was about five years ago...before everything was patched and the hideous yellow reflectors came along....and they still used the fuel tenders....there was nothing sharper than a three unit set of 9200s with a BNFT in it....sure do miss seeing that :(
@trainz675 - A SD60M is a locomotive type. Like a: AC4400CW, SD40-2, GP38AC, MP15AC, SW1500, NW2, SD38-2 and VERY MUCH more are just different locomotives types.
man, if only the SPSF merger had gone through, at least that paint scheme would have looked good. and anyways, why are they intent on wiping out the santa fe? the red BNSF on the old superfleet warbonnets completely kills that paint scheme. its pathetic that only one two railroads survived the 80's the KCS and UP, and even more pathetic that the KCS is the only railroad that hasnt really done any major merges with other companies!
Somewhere I have pics inside the cab of a brand new SD60. The claim was that the only place they were going to be used was in coal service. Fantastic locomotive, inside and out..
Great video... I miss the old Mean Green Machine (BN). I remember the merger that made the BN my dad worked forn the Northern Pacific and my uncle worked for the Great Northern and they refered to the BN as the Big Nasty or Better than Nothing. It would be great to see heritage schemes for all the fallen flags that are now the BNSF.
With the economy the way it is now it sucks to see the 60M's laid up while the GE's roam. The only saving grace lately is with so many GEVO's pulled out of service for grenading their turbo's and more all the SD75m's that were laid up at northtown have been called back into service, for now. The SD60m's still sit (I prefer the 3 window cab myself).
the SD40-2s will be used as yard switchers and local shunts, and sometimes thrown in as extra power on manifests. the SD40-2 is not going to be eliminated from the fleet.
I still see alot of Burlington Northern units sitting at the diesel shop at Northtown yard when we deliver cars. Some of them are still around. Alot of the guys I've talked to ssy that they liked Burlington Nothern much better. They call BNSF "Big Nothin So Far". Thought that was kind of funny. Nicely made video!!
I'm from the "other" side of this, in that I mourn the loss of the revived ATSF "war bonnets" much more than the loss of any BN colors. HOWEVER, I would much rather see BN green all over the place than that hideous "heritage" orange! Never thought I'd appreciate UP's armor yellow so much. That BNSF orange just burns my retinas out!
I agree! I see BNSF a lot here, but I'm sick of their orange scheme. At least UP has heritage locomotives that represent each company that merged. BNSF is wiping out all that is BN and ATSF.
When I was 11, I went to Montana, and the engineer of a stopped BNSF train with a Green Giant in the lead, invited me into the cab, and he let me blow the horn and ring the bell, and now here I am, three years later, and back in Northern California, and I watch BNSF trains operate on trackage rights through UP's Roseville Yard and I would give anything to see a Green Giant leading again, this actually makes me cry my eyes out!!!!!!!!
Great video the BN Green Giants are my favorite Locomotive! I wish the 2 roads didnt merge that way we could have our BN units and Santa Fe could have there classic and great looking Warbonnets and Yellowbonnts back! Orange will never beat Whiteface and green or Red and Silver!
You guys are arguing over which railroads were better? Last time I checked, ATSF and BN were two pretty good class 1 railroads before they went out.
And who are you to say that they were bad railroads, were you in charge of their management? Were you in charge of how the trains were moved, did you make sure the goods arrived at the correct places on time? I think not. Those two railroads were giants, they lasted a long time.
I know, I applaud your video, you did a very good job. Im just mad about the other guys that came in here and argued over the stupidist things. But as I said, great video.
look lets just do this, as much as i hate u BN people, Just spilt it up, You can have your BN back,and give us our ATSF back. in order to do good u have to do evil. and if makeing a deal with bn to do so gets atsf back,so be it.
OH AND DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THE SANTA FE SOUTHERN PACIFIC MERGER BUT AT LEAST SOME ATSF UNITS AND BN UNITS ARE STILL AROUND AND THATS WHAT THIS IS FOR AND IF YOU DONT LIKE IT MAKE YOUR OWN ABOUT THE santa fe
I live up here in northern Wyoming, bottle neck of the PRB (Powder River Basin) lots of SD69Ms in helper service, and now almost every SD60M has been re#ed. I remember the first SD60M I ever seen. I think I was about 10, wow that was 20 years ago.
Yup, the Genesis line is expected in March... but knowing Athearn will be released around July. I already have one in sounds reserved, and another non-sound.
Great video of the SD60! I have a big super book just on that locomotive and tons of BN pics of those engines! EMD would end up making 1100 SD60s in total for Railroad companies. I also seen and photographed them in the Chicago area on the racetrack! Awesome locomotive! nice paint scheme I think athearn modeled that locomotive in HO scale
I Love The quote you left at the the end "The Sun Hasn't Quite set on the Green giants but darkness looms" It's sad to think but one day the big Green and the giant SD60M Will be BNSF coloers or scrap
BN was my FAVORITE, I remember going out on the edge of the tracks, and waving to the engineer, the BN engines were classic, and I hope the BN green-white scheme, AND, the black-white scheme, survives, but, luckily, some of us have a revolutionary game, called, TRAINZ, a railroad game, wear youre in charge, no one else, and we can get new downloads, especially BN units, both schemes!
One of the best railroad videos I have seen in a long time. I am hoping they would do like Union Pacific and make some herritage units for ATSF, BN, Northern Pacific, The great Northern just to name a few.
If you could choose between driving a BN three piece window SD60M or a LMX B39-8e general electric leased unit which would you choose? why would you choose it ?
BN Green Rules! The problem with BNSF in my opinion is that both of BNSF's predecessors had better paint schemes than BNSF its self(Warbonnets forever!!!!!!)I just love the "white face" SD60Ms.
what you need to understand casslakechris is that there is nothing we can do about it! just be happy BNSF has alot of old locomotives. Here is a tip if you want to see alot of BN green go to BNSF's northtown yard in Minneapolis, they have tons of them.
