Starting in the early 2000s, the Burlington Northern
Santa Fe railway began repainting their former
Santa Fe SD75Ms in the new Heritage II scheme.
The locomotives had long, productive lives on the
railroad in all types of mainline service, from unit
coal trains to intermodal service out west, and have
only recently begun to be retired.
