Western Railroad Discussion > one of a kind 9297 coming to N & S Cal

Baretable train BPTLWAT [shows] led by one of a kind paint job BNSF 9297 + an Oakway SD60. Train departed Bend at 2050 hrs shows departing K Falls around 0900 friday morning, due out of Keddie at around 9 p.m. friday. MAYBE over Tehachapi sometime SATURDAY as it is due out of Bakersfield around 1330 hrs Saturday. This is a lowly baretable train that is already 38+ hours late [it didn't even go via Wyoming!], and, as we all know, late trains only get later!

Rumor has it that it is, in fact, leading.

Missing what is so special about the 9297, is that by chance the SD70MAC painted in an experimental BNSF scheme using the Warbonnet lines and the cream and green scheme?

The unit you are refering to, the "Vomit Bonnet" is BNSF 9647. The 9297 is an SD60M with an early Heritage looking paint scheme. Here is a link to a picture:
