- Frisco 3100-3109 were ordered by St. Louis – San Francisco Railway, but delivered to BN. The 3100 was the only GP50 that received Frisco colors; it was to be originally numbered 791 as part of the 790-799 series. The merger into the Burlington Northern system in November 1980 changed the outcome of the Frisco GP50s. Emerging from La Grange one month after the merger into BN, in December 1980, the 3100 was BN’s number assigned for this GP50. The rest of the delivery came online in BN’s Cascade Green scheme and was initially assigned to Springfield, MO as the Frisco originally intended. A short time later, the BN restenciled the road number on #3100 adding a BN sublettering. Photos show that #3100 lasted in SLSF livery into 1985.
