Two BNSF Railway AC44CW Locomotives in Heritage 3 Liveries in both black and experimental gold. The textures were as close a match to their real life counter parts as I could make them given the reference material I could find, and any feedback will be greatly appreciated :)

History

In January 2005, in celebration of their 20th anniversary after the BN-ATSF merger, rebranded the railroad's long name down to The BNSF Railway. The company created a new livery for their locomotives to use and in March the iconic BNSF and 'swoosh' wedge logo was created and being applied to locomotives. Two colors were considered, black letters and wedge with a gold outline or gold letters and wedge with a black outline, the former option was chosen and all new locomotives were painted in H3 liveries before being replaced by H4 just one year later in 2006. The experimental gold logo was painted onto BNSF #7695, an ES44DC, and still survives today to be seen by many fortunate railfans.
