While chasing trains along the former Great Northern in Washington State, we encountered a big surprise. BN GP38-2 No. 2099 was BNSF's first repainted standard cab locomotive.
2099 was touring the railroad in glorious GN inspired livery, wearing Pullman Green and Omaha Orange paint. The running gear was painted silver, to match new 900 series GE C44-9W deliveries.
We caught him on train No. 639, passing through Naylor, Washington on Sept. 13, 1996.

Wow, sweet catch!
Rocky the Goat would be proud of that paint scheme!
I remember when this unit was all the rage.
BNSF shoulda' kept just the "H1" paint scheme!
H2 and H3 are hideous with all them stripes!
This is classy!
