Western Railroad Discussion > Burlington Northern Santa Fe GP38-2 #2099Date: 08/14/15 03:24 Burlington Northern Santa Fe GP38-2 #2099 Author: SantaFeRuss The first engine to get BNSF paint that was not a new locomotive, the 2099. This unit was involved in a side-swipe wreck a few years ago in the Tulsa, OK area. It was loaded onto a BNSF flatcar for Topeka, KS. Any updates on this locomotive? Thanks for any answers.
