HO GE Dash 9-44CW - DC/DCC Ready - Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF Wedge) #4484 BNSF FEATURES: High-mounted number boards K3 horn Front ditch lights ATSF -Gullwing- cab Standard brass bell Part of BNSFs order in 1999, these were originally painted in the -Heritage 2- scheme from the factory. Over time with normal wear and tear, these units paint began to fade. As they got outshopped for major repairs, some were repainted into BNSFs current -Wedge- scheme. It was also common to see different variations of paint and parts used. Air conditioners and antennas were commonly changed out over time as seen on other equipment. We offer these variations based on collected research photos.
