an appearance in a movie.

And an additional note that I find interesting, it carried the BN logo
well in advance of the merger in '70 (the U23s and SD45s didn't.) I
don't remember the dates, but it was something like 6 - 8 months. The
photos show this, tho' I can't say if they're pre- or post merger. The
logo is present, but only "BURLINGTON" is displayed on the locomotive,
not "BURLINGTON NORTHERN"
