GP15's?

[Danimal]

Does anyone know if any of the gp15's have painted into the heritage scheme? Any photos online? Thanks Dan

I haven't seen one, but i've never seen a BN GP15 here in Denver...

I wonder?

Lo and behold i spotted unit 1487 painted in Heritage 1 moving from the BNSF yard to ex Rio Grande North Yard(or vice versa) today at about 2:30 pm... I didn't have the digital camera with me, so I couldn't even get a moving shot.

First BN GP15 i've seen in Denver; i've seen UP ones though. http://www.trainboard.com/cool.gif

Looks like I have a photo of a BNSF GP15 listed on my site. You can check it out at:

Hope this helps.

You have 1485 on your site, which isn't repainted yet. There is at least one in Pumpkin orange...

I didn't realize it wasn't in heritage. I just looked at my roster and saw one, so I thought I would help by posting it.

Don't worry about it not being in Heritage paint, as it is labeled BNSF! http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif

That's exactly what it looks like!

Tomorrow is saturday so maybe i'll try to get a photo of that unit- if it's still in town...

[tunnel88]

I'm sorry but i wasn't able to get out saturday or sunday so no pics... I'm not sure if it's still in town but if it is i'll see what i can do...

You shoulda seen the GP15-1s back in the day,
when a quartet of these babies were used to lug Train 730 north out of Ft. Smith up the
Boston Mtn. grade. Frisco (and later BN) used them a lot in ex-Frisco territory, and I saw a lot of them in Hugo, OK on the locals
& switchers. These were used for secondary
& branch line power- one was used on the point of the last Quanah, Acme & Pacific train in 1981.
