Lovely! Perhaps someone more well-informed than me can reply regarding "Pacific Pride" and the arrangement of logos on the side of the locomotive.

The logos were all of the BN predecessor roads. Pacific Pride was because BN ran in the Pacific Northwest.

And this was Pacific Pride II because the original Pacific Pride was an accident victim.

I am not sure that’s correct. The 2075 was the first Pacific Pride and it wore its scheme longer than the 2085 having just been “swooshed” by BNSF within the last couple years. The 2085 got the H1 treatment almost 20 years ago.

BN 2075 Pacific Pride had a fire many, many years ago and was taken out of service.  That's how BN 2085 Pacific Pride II came to be.
