    I just checked all of my photos of phase 2 SD60M's and found I have two with nose lights. You can see them at my website, the BNSF Motive Power Archive http://www.trainweb.org/bnsfmpa

    I did not notice it before but in opinion that extra yellow stripe on the 9299 is ugly, I mean it has way to much yellow on it.

    I saw 9299 in person and yes, that extra yellow stipe takes away from the rest of the locomotive. I didn't notice if it had the nose lights though I think it still had them mounted above the wind sheild.

    What was that website again. I wanted see what everyone is talking about on the stripe.
    I am unfamilar with this on this locomotive. I seen in Qstation the SD60M painted in the H1 scheme. But did not find the 9299 website. page.

    I have been noticing lately that the SD60M's with three window windshields have been losing their "Burlington Northern" from the battery box doors, but they are not being relettered BNSF. Has anyone else noticed this? And yes, I have seen Ph. 2 units with lowered headlights. Dad and I liken this to a lobotomy. Poor things!

    Hey, be thankful....it's nowhere near as bad as they've done to my poor SP units! [​IMG]

    Jack, the link you requested- http://www.qstation.org/1991/

    And guess what, i saw one of these SD60Ms with the nose lights at the 38th Street engine facility this morning. I couldn't clearly make out the number but i'm pretty sure it was 927?...

    Thanks for the web site. I was going though the qstation website and found one painted in the heritage 1 scheme. Maybe one of these days they decide on the paint scheme they want to use. Everything old is getting H1 and everything new is getting the H2. Not totally true exception is SD60M.

    Now I think everything is getting the low nose lights put on it. I am seeing a lot of stuff run though here with the low noses lights. Especally exBN stuff.

    I saw my first SD60M ever the other day coming off the BNSF Stevens Pass line about 5 miles out of Everett. I almost craped my pants I was so excited :excited:, It was a long ways away but I could tell the lead loco was a SD60M because of the huge white stripes on the side of the cab, it was one of the phase two units, unfortanitly I could not see the nose light from a half mile away and my GF would have gotten mad had I decided to go chase a train and never made it her house [​IMG]!
