BNSF H3 SD70ACe version 1.1.0

A Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway heritage 3 livery for the Electro-Motive Division SD70ACe. I figured this would be a fitting addition to Sherman Hill and was a fun livery to recreate for the SD70ACe :) ;any feedback on the texture is always greatly appreciated!

History

BNSF is the second largest customer for the SD70ACe, ordering 650 units for their roster - only being beaten out by The Union Pacific Railway with 687 units on their roster. The cab of the SD70ACe has several serious defects, mainly that of the cab used by BNSF; which, after several concerns with violent shaking due to excess loud noise vibrations and the unfortunate fatal Red Oak collision in Iowa, has reduced 70 non IsoCab SD70ACe's to being trailing units only. BNSF is slowly replacing the SD70ACe with the SD70MACe, a rebuild of the SD70MAC with improved Mitsubishi traction motors and electronics to replace the Siemens traction motors, boasting 786 SD70MAC's whilst slowly modernizing them - these models were originally built for BNSF but were later also built for CSX Transportation and The Kansas City Southern Railway.

BUFFIE, BNSF SD70ACe #9163, 2013, Denver Colorado.
