Do You Remember When BNSF Heritage 1 Were New!
Author: Sneebly

In October 1996 I was liking what I saw of the brand new BNSF paint scheme. Here are a couple of views of 976 at Mid America Car in KC with spotless new paint. Notice in the background the KCS F unit. I just wished that they would not of done Heritage 2 or the power wedgie.

I like it! I think that the h2/3 with a solid yellow stripe like the H1 would look really good, kinda like what they put on the GP's and older SD's.

Thanks for posting, this is the real colors to use. Beats the cruddy cascade green and big sky blue. Sorry I'm so opinionated. Swede Albany,Or.

I'm surprised some units still are in that paint scheme!

The H-1's definitely looked great together in matched sets...

Had a few chances to see H1 -9's on oil trains here in Maine. Compared to the swoosh and H2's these were sweet, always went out of the way to shoot them. Definitely the best BNSF scheme.

Nice pictures of a very nice unit. I'm ok with H2 but when they dropped the dark green for black I was disappointed. It makes a big difference.

Yea, the H2 to me wasn't the best in my opinion. The H3 units today is pretty nice though. But still the H1 is the original. Now I wish HU's website would put the remaining units on.
