Wornbonnet
It wasn't so long ago that the BNSF had a lot of variety and color roaming around its system, before the homogenized generic orange swoosh pumpkins took over everything. Yet, even by 2014, the old Superfleet-style Warbonnets were already becoming rare. And so it was that, on my way to work one day, I decided to stop and photograph this parked oil train led by BNSF "Fakebonnet" 8301 and BNSF 1062 still in as-delivered "H1" paint. Santa Fe purists will say this was never a true Warbonnet, due to it carrying post-merger BNSF markings instead of Santa Fe. However, since these were already rare, I always said a Warbonnet is a Warbonnet is a Warbonnet, and it is not the time to be picky. Today, these SD75's are all either stored, scrapped, or otherwise off-roster. If you can find a Warbonnet, get any shot you can, while you still can.
