ATHEARN HO BNSF GP39-2U LOCOMOTIVE

After the BNSF merger of 1995, Santa Fe’s fleet of GP39-2u’s were repainted into the then-new BNSF H1 paint scheme. Although most of the details remained the same, some units had headlights relocated to the nose and horns moved to the long hood roof. BNSF still uses most of the fleet today, albeit some repainted into BNSF’s current “wedge” scheme.
