I might be wrong, but 2099 was one of the first locomotives to be REPAINTED(!!) into H1 colour scheme. Before then, there were some new C44-9W's in H1 and H2 paint. >Mike Forster< Perth, Western Australiapacificnational_nr103@hotmail.com http://www.trainweb.org/aussiepix
>What's the deal with BNSF painting the trucks, frame, and >fuel tank green on some locomotives and silver on others? The ones with the green trucks/tanks are "Heritage 1" paint scheme which willbe applied to all standard nose locomotives.The silver trucks/tanks are part of the "Heritage 2 " paint scheme that is going to be on all wide-nose units.

But you'll note that both the GP38-2s in those photos are H1, yet one has silver trucks while the other has green trucks...Jonathan Nikiforovs. Milepost 180, CP Belleville Sub.Repainter for Yonder Locomotive Works.
