Burlington Northern sometimes comes in red, white and blue

 
This model of an Burlington Northern SD60 painted in America's colors to honor the men who fought in
Desert Storm back in 1991 showed up at the club today with the return of 2 prior members who rejoined.
Janis Ledum and Rod Huffman are now back after out of area jobs and a fishing date with a salmon or two.
 
Here's the real one on an eastbound freight near Sprague, Washington leading a few other units
in the setting sunlight back in 1993.
 
There was a plaque on the nose of the engine with the names of dozens of employees of the BN
who served over there to get rid of Saddam and his henchmen.
 
This caboose got the same treatment with the colors and a few times run with the locomotive.
