Good Question Mr. Terry. I think a lot will because it's so significant when they tried repainting them people compalined.

While I was visiting the folks during the Thanksgiving holiday, while I was at the NS East Wayne Yard in New Haven, Indiana, railfanning, I saw a BNSF C40-8W #867 and a C44-9W # 600 both in the Silver and Red Warbonnet Scheme. The only thing the railroad added to the locos was the letters BNSF under the side cab numbers on both sides. Some areas on #867 (which was stopped) the red paint was faded and the loco needed to be washed because is was VERY dirty and #600 was moving very fast and I couldn't tell much else about it. I have seen plenty of the heritage paint schemes in this area but this was the first time I saw the Silver and Red scheme.

The Warbonnets are still around on BNSF. However, it has been awhile since they were last painted since the merger. Grab the photos while you can before they all gone.
