few assorted exBN MACs . . .
Author: 3rdswitch

.    .    .    few shots of three of the five schemes the MAC's have experienced;
​top: Happened upon one of the three orignal BN MAC's leading a coal empty near Prescott, KS 10-97.
​middle: A trio of the original paint BN 70MACs leads a coal load south out of Trinchere, CO 9-96.
bottom: A pair of fresh from the factory BNSF MACs led a southbound coal load into Greenland, CO 8-99.
​The other two were the "Vomit Bonnet" and some recently REpainted in BNSF H3.

Then you have the ones with the merger herald on the nose.
What do I like about these engines?
The classic nose, the big sun visors, the old style numerals on the cab.
They have been pretty scarce lately with the downturn in traffic.

Here's another slight variation, with the power bar emblem, but retains the large numbers on the side.

Here is the 9750 with the cool numerals and the cheesy BNSF on the side

Thanks for the additions, I am very aware of the little lettering and numbering differences and was referring to the paint scheme.
