What is the correct color of the trucks of BNSF GP39-2 (ex. Santa Fe) after 2000?
I find some silver, some black and some dirty over silver or dirty over black.
My wild guess is that BNSF is no longer going with the old Santa Fe silver trucks and paints them black when they need paint. That results in the mix and I have to have to look at photos of an individual engine at a given time to know the color of the truck at that date. But ones I found a photo with black trucks I have not to worry that they may be changed back to silver. Is that right?
