I was just wondering if this model livery was prototypical or not... I looked on RR Pics Archives and they did not list any AC6000's, but I just wanted to double check with you guys...
It's not correct. BNSF didn't have any AC6000s, in any paint scheme. At that time, BNSF didn't have any GE ACs at all. The only purchasers of the AC6000 were CSX, UP, and BHP Iron Ore in Australia.
For the record, the road number of that model falls in a gap from 952-959 between the ATSF C41-8Ws and the BNSF Heritage I C44-9Ws, so if you wanted to pretend it wouldn't interfere with anything, though I think that if BNSF did have AC6000s, they would have been in Heritage I, or possibly Executive Green & Cream to match their EMD ACs. There were no ACs, GE or EMD, in Warbonnet colors.
