Remarks & Notes 
In March of 1973 one could still find non-BN painted predecessor locomotives, but green was getting a foot hold. Here former GN 424, a factory painted Big Sky Blue SD45 can be compared to BN's cascade green. Both were designed by the same outside design consultants. The EMD nose was a challenge to mask and paint in the blue scheme, and often home made repaints had slightly different angles on the white. This was EMD's version.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
