Here is one of BNSF's brand new Isolated cabed SD70ACe's rolling through Oreapolis last Sat. BNSF 9133 west. KCS 4695,KCS 4685 in the new Taco Belle scheme. And Job 412 heading back to Gibson yard with 66 cars in tow. BNSF 2164,BNSF 2795,BNSF 2808. Later.
I always get a good chuckle from the creativeness of railroaders and fans. These nicknames can get quite interesting. Boxcab E50
Now this is the ONLY paint scheme that should have the letters, (SF) on it. all the others are butt ugly.
I've also heard others call the older ones, "chilli-macs" for the ones that were built in Mexico a few years back!
And if they have mechanical troubles, we'll need a nickname that references indigestion of that style food.... :tb-tongue: Boxcab E50
