BNSF 790070 has a paint date of 5-97 by Mid-America. Here it is @ BNSF's Northtown Terminal. Summer of 1997. Some later BN green BNSF reefers got the newer font lettering. Hope you enjoyed these images.

Nice shots! It's great to see some rolling stock photos for a change! I always thought the BNSF should have used the BN green for at least some of their classes of freight cars. Thanks for posting!

The mechanical reefers in boxcar red are the ugliest. They should have kept the green, as it certainly looks better at a loading dock next to UP white or CRYO white & orange cars. BNSF reefers need a makeover.

Another car that is rare is the aluminum sided coal hopper with a small green BNSF emblem. The car shops probably were using up the green paint.
