What if Grinstein Green had never happened? BN’s Cascade Green scheme looks right at home on this modern ES44AC. Trains Magazine in 2012 posted a “Trains of Thought” entitled “BNSF: It’s time for heritage locomotives” diving into the possible heritage paint schemes of the railroad. The BN in Cascade Green was a natural fit. Athearn was inspired by the artist’s rendition but decided to get creative with their own version.
