I have observed that BNSF uses a lot of used equipment and they repaint just enough to cover the old logo and put their name on it. I have seen many instances of this in the Columbia Gorge.

Maybe it sat out in the sun too long between paint coats.

There was a picture of a unit that looked exactly like that in the last issue of The Railroad Press. The caption explained that it was in fact due to fading. Some units held their color very well, and some faded to yellow rather quickly.

Actually yes, the orange paint is bad. This is only happening to a few number groups that were built around the same time. Around here it's called the "Rotting Pumpkin Scheme".Jeff

You guys shold see some of CN's SD75I's.
They're really faded.
The red turned to pink so They're Pink nose SD75's! And the SD40-2w's paint hasn't faded and they havn't been painted in 15-20 years!Rob
