BNSF Railway, the nation’s leading freight transportation provider, unveiled a series of specially painted locomotives to honor America’s 250th birthday.
The three new locomotives, carrying numbers 250, 1776 and 2026, feature an exclusive livery ahead of the nation’s Semiquincentennial birthday on July 4.
Each locomotive, specially painted by Mid-America Car Inc. in Kansas City, Missouri, features red, white and blue colors and the America250 logo. The locomotives feature a nod to the Preamble to the United States Constitution with the words, “We the People.” The trailing ends of the locomotives feature the words “Freedom and Liberty” on either side, with a circle of stars on the tail, paying tribute to the Betsy Ross flag.
The three locomotives will travel BNSF’s 32,500-mile rail network for special events, while joining the rest of the BNSF fleet to deliver the nation’s freight for the customers and communities we serve across the supply chain.
