After cruising through the Santa Fe and BNSF sections at Fallen Flags, it looks like after the merger, the units weren't patched. The letters "BNSF" were just added below the original Santa Fe road numbers. There were a couple pics of C8's in BNSF trains, still sporting the original Sante Fe numbers, and no "BNSF" underneath. Looks like the the original Santa Fe numbers were kept, even after being painted in BN's "Heritage" scheme.
I'm thinking, heavily weathered, C8, with original Santa Fe markings, mixed amongst some BNSF Heritage units, makes for a plausible train.
