What ever happened too...

The BNSF SD70 #9647 Barfbonnet?

Have one, and I am curious to how long it lasted before it got painted over.

You can ask over on our sister site railroadforums.com . Most likely they'll know

In case anyone else is wondering, as I am, this is what he's talking about.

Ah, good - so I wasn't seeing things a few years back when I swore I saw it as part of a string pulling coal towards Toledo.


Thanks!

I don't understand the "barfbonnet" context?

Are you saying it's ugly? The Red and Silver is ugly? Whats wrong with you? Are you color blind?

EDIT: Oh sorry, I just looked at those pics. I agree that those paint jobs are wacked out. LOL

This might be of some help, I never took the time to dig into any of it.

Heh - I *actually* like that scheme to be honest! Though I understand why it got the nick of barfbonnet, or warvommit, or any of the other variations of the moniker.

Saw pictures of it in Longmont, Colorado on Valentine's Day posted on another forum, still in green and cream warbonnet.
